 I had asked for something close in may 2011 (cf. below), and J. Rioux
 had pointed out it was also linked to tickets 6061 and 6675. So, it
 seems to be a rather formidable task within LyX.

 I don't know how formidable it is. It may not be very hard at all. Qt
 certainly provides support for drag and drop, and the page Using Drag
 and Drop with Item Views, in the Qt documentation, seems to give most
 of the information one would need.

 As always with open source projects, the issue here is who wants to
 scratch which itch and how much time we all do (or, better, don't)
 have to work on LyX. If one of the developers really needed this
 functionality, I'm sure it would have gotten done a long time ago; but
 none of us do, it would seem, and we're all focused on other things we
 do feel like we need, or feel like LyX needs more. E.g., if I had time
 to do something besides fix bugs, I'd be working on BibLaTeX integration.

 If anyone does want to have a go at this, as I said, I think the
 instructions in the Qt docs are probably quite easy to follow. The
 class that manages the outline is in GuiToc.cpp.

From what I can see, enabling the drag function itself is quite simple.
The trick then is to respond to it appropriately.

I guess one would also need to limit this behavior to the TOC view. It
makes no sense to drag and drop the other stuff.

I've done some work on this in the Outline enhancements branch. I've got a 
class of helper functions which implement the changes to the underlying 
document. If you're interested in seeing what I've done, take a look at the 
DataManager.h  
(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lyx-outline-devel/lyx-outline/trunk/view/head:/src/frontends/qt4/DataManager.h)
 and DataManager.cpp 
(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lyx-outline-devel/lyx-outline/trunk/view/head:/src/frontends/qt4/DataManager.cpp)
 files in the outline branch.

The branch in the link also has implementations for most of the Outline 
enhancements I originally proposed for LyX. I just haven't had time to 
sufficiently clean them up and submit code patches in bite sized intervals.

Cheers,

Rob

I would find it an improvement if, in the Plan window, the sequence
chapter / section/ etc. currently opened remained opened when opening
another chapter or section, etc. I think this was already suggested by
somebody else a long time ago. I don't know how this could be
implemented, maybe by adding an attribute Open (yes/no) to sectioning
commands like \chapter and \section, etc. and stripping it out when
exporting to LaTeX (since it's not included in LaTeX); or adding a
commented line before the line \chapter, containing the current state in
LyX (open or closed) of the sectioning command ?
