Summary of the new feature/enhancement

PowerToys Run is a amazing way to find files. I already used Wox, Listary and Everything, but the fact that Microsoft is developing it's own tool is very promising. I know a lot of artists who uses those kind of tools to search quickly through their assets, and integrate it into their work.

Listary and Everything already has the possibility to drag and drop the file directly from the search results into any app. So you can move/copy files into another folder, or integrate a image directly into a Photoshop composition, or a video file into Premiere for example. This will open so much possibilities !

Currently, you can't do that directly from the search results and have to open the containing folder, and then move the corresponding file into your app.

Example of this feature in Eveything. Works similarly in Listary. The same feature is open on Wox .

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Sorry, I'm not a Windows developer, but I'm pretty sure there is a corresponding API for those kind of thing.

Thanks to all the contributors of this amazing feature toolset !

Maybe combine this with a Quick Switch feature (like seen in Listary) and like seen in #23
