I think a temporary fix could be for it to work like Dash to Panel, which if hovered while dragging, activates the shell overview and hence allows to drop on the chose window.

Although this wouldn't necessarily be so useful for standard installs, users of extensions such as Dash to Dock would find this highly useful. So it would be nice if this feature were at least supported so that they could implement it as such extensions are becoming more and more popular day by day.
