I was/am doing this through IP sets. Same idea - (to me, a bit easier and doable [v13]), copy the selected set to an IP set, access the IP set on the drop side. But I am trying to see where I can remove IP<anything>
I thought I would look at NOT using sets at all. I seem to remember someone telling me that it was possible to do drag n drop between processes using ONLY the pasteboard, and the native data placed there during Drag n drop.
