Description
### Enhancement Summary
I think the ability to drag and drop plugins (fx) to mixer and/or fx chain would be a really cool feature to have (considering lmms uses single folder for plugins)
### Implementation Details / Mockup
(I cannot really give any ideas on implementation. Because I have barely read the source code and the ideas I have about implementation is based on my wrong assumptions of how lmms works)

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing plugin workflow and the mixer and FX-chain entry points in the C++ source. Compare how LMMS currently adds plugins with the requested drag-and-drop behavior, then define completion as reliably dragging an effect plugin into the mixer and/or FX chain without disrupting existing workflows.
