Mohamad, You name a number of drop methods that could be very useful, it was this awarmnes on my part that I started the thread. With so many possible features we need to establish a place on tiddlers where people may expect to drop things but it does not use any or much screen "real estate". Ideally one could add a tag to any tiddler containing the logic to receive content and as long as a filter determines it should be displayed, display the drop zone, perhaps only when something is being dragged. The thing is we should accommodate multiple drop zones if multiple drop zone code is applicable to each tiddler. eg if it does not have a url field offer a drop zone to populate it, if it has a person tag offer a drop zone to drop an email address.
While drop zones are good for dragged content we may often find we have the value in the clipboard we would otherwise drop in the clipboard, so if we could help ctrl-v to any of the visible drop zones would be good as well. eg; "hover and past" as a method.
