I would not make it that complicated. UCA in the right-click drag & drop is
already an exotic case ... to introduce conveniance extra placeholders just for
that exotic case IMO is overengeneering and just will add confusion for all
other UCA users which are not interested in dnd UCA. Specially because %l and
%L are not very self explaining.
On top you cannot know in advance if every dnd UCA user wants to have "%g/%n"
as new filenames .. possibly instead a name chooser dialog has to be opened, or
a subfolder wil be created or other fancy stuff. I dont want to make any
assumptions on that.

I think it is appropriate for something exotic like a dnd context menu, that
everybody who wants to make use of it provides a script to concat the new
filepaths by using %g and %n (or whatever is desired).

I would just foresee %g.
%G does not make much sense for me, since we only have one drop directory.
