Description
Let's say I download a picture from Google. It's saved in Downloads.
Now I navigate to Downloads and to get the Picture into Pantheon-Photos I've to for example copy the image into the Pictures directory.
Faster would be a contractor option "Import to Pantheon-Photos". So I can select all my Pictures and import them into Photos. Obviously in the background they would be copied into Pictures.
I say depending on file type because this scenario also works with music files by importing them into Noise.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how Pantheon Photos handles imports and how Contractor actions are registered, then define the file-type behavior and verify that selecting files offers the appropriate import action and copies them into the Photos or Noise library.
