Description

Like Cursor, the Amazon Q Developer chat should allow a user to drag and drop files, folders, images, ETC into the chat for context.

Furthermore, it should also allow the user to drag/drop context from VSCode's file explorer, if possible (perhaps allow the extension to be open in a separate subwindow, or on the "right side" of vscode, with the vscode's file explorer on the left)

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the Amazon Q chat entry point and its current context-handling flow. Determine how VS Code Explorer and OS drag-and-drop events could reach the chat, then verify that files, folders, images, and other stated context can be dropped from Finder, Explorer, and VS Code's file explorer.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
