Description

What feature would you like to see?

It would be very useful if the VS Code extension supported drag & drop for files and folders directly into the chat input.

The proposed behavior is simple: when a user drags a file or folder into the chat, the extension should automatically insert its path into the current message.

This would eliminate the need to use Copy Path or Copy Relative Path, reducing the number of steps required and significantly speeding up the workflow when referencing project files.

Example:
Drag src/services/UserService.ts into the chat.
The following is automatically inserted into the message: src/services/UserService.ts

This small quality-of-life improvement would make interacting with the coding agent faster and more natural, especially in large projects where referencing files and directories is a frequent task.

Research direction

Start by locating the VS Code extension code that handles the chat input and file or folder references; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace how paths are currently inserted, then verify that dragging a file or folder inserts its path into the current message without requiring Copy Path or Copy Relative Path.
