Which version of the app?
WinUI 3 Gallery
Description
First of all, I absolutely LOVE the new pages for the resources like typography, icons, colors and such. They are easy to use and should be the single bible for every developer!
Now, I had this idea. On the icons page we can search for icons and on the right side we can copy a few formats for the code. Again, nice job. Copy & paste is handy for lots of occasions. But sometimes I only have to insert that icon/code once or twice. My Idea is: place Gallery and an IDE window next to each other, search an icon, now drag the desired format into the text area where my code is. No keyboard required for the action and my clipboard stays a bit cleaner :)

Research direction
The issue points to the icons page and its existing format-copy controls; start by reviewing that page and how its code formats are exposed. Done means a selected icon format can be dragged into an external text editor without keyboard input, while leaving the clipboard unchanged; no file or test is named.
