Thank you. I am confident now that my request was understood. That was my main concern. If JetBrains decides that it's not a good idea, I will live with it. I just wanted to make sure that they would understand my request before accepting or rejecting it.
My "glossing over" comment was more in regard to Tomas Singer's rather terse response to my original post than Alexey's post. The "misunderstood" comment was more directed at Alexey as I (still) don't understand the argument that drag'n drop opening of a file is the same as a file association. Sorry if I ruffled any feathers, that was most certainly not my intention or desire. I simply felt that the first couple of responses were rejecting my request without understanding it. I know that this doesn't equate to JetBrains rejecting it, but I would imagine they are swayed by the responses to these posts, both good and bad.
