[feature request] Enable drag-and-drop context setting #485

Kindly describe the bug and include as much detail as possible on what you were doing so we can reproduce the bug.

To reduce friction when setting context, it would be convenient if users could drag and drop directories/files from their file system explorer of choice into the "Add folders" area.

Reason: In addition to it being convenient if you already have a file explorer open, some native file picker GUI apps have limitations that may frustrate users

For example, on Ubuntu, Pieces Desktop app opens the "Portal" filesystem GUI to select a directory. Portal doesn't show hidden directories or files by default, and there is no GUI option to make hidden files visible; users would have to know the hotkey ctrl + H
