Summary

This feature extends the existing DownloadURL drag type to allow users to drag 
and drop multiple files simultaneously from a web application (such as a 
webmail client or a web-based tool) directly to their desktop or file system on 
Windows. Historically, the DownloadURL drag type has been limited to supporting 
the download of a single file per drag-and-drop operation. This new design 
addresses that limitation by introducing a JSON array format for the 
DownloadURL string, allowing it to carry information for multiple files.

Motivation

This enhancement addresses a significant pain point for users who frequently 
interact with web applications that involve multiple downloadable items. For 
example, users can now download multiple email attachments from a webmail 
client (eg, Outlook Web) or export multiple generated reports or images from a 
web-based tool using a single drag gesture, rather than being forced to perform 
multiple, inefficient, and cumbersome drag-and-drop operations for each file.
