As alot of stuff is online I find myself downloading stuff to hard disk onto to upload it through the <input type="file"> form. It would be way cooler if you could drag-n-drop urls/images/videos/etc onto the upload box, and have it work seemlessly, hopefully also using the cache.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.drag picture to file upload box
Actual Results:  
2.nothing

Expected Results:  
3.file is included for upload. 

could show the files url, maybe a way of direct input (as currently any interaction causes a file dialog to show up)
