Description

Hi, thanks for maintaining this plugin :)

I've just started using the desktop_drop library, and I'm kind of missing a feature that I've seen in a lot of drop implementation in other ecosystems.
When a user drags a file over the drop area, it is very helpful for the application to reject the drag based on e.g. the type of the file that is being dragged. This helps users understand which files can be accepted by the application.
If possible, I would love to see this feature added to this already great plugin.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the desktop_drop plugin's existing drag-and-drop event API and platform implementations; the issue names no files or tests. Define how content can be inspected before a drop completes and how an application can reject unsupported files, then verify the behavior across the supported desktop platforms.
