UI QoL Suggestion -- Drag and drop

A pair of suggestions for tightening up the UI.

1.) So, just like you can drag an enhancement or power to a chat window, it would be nice if you could do this with player names too. Why? Well, the primary example is when someone other than the team leader tries to recruit someone to the team -- being able to drag and drop the name to the chat window would be handy rather than dealing with spacing and capitalization issues.

2.) For the sake of consistency as well as being helpful, it would be nice if you could drag character name, enh name, and powers into the support submission windows too.

They're Quality of Life issues but if it's feasible, why not go for it?

The first one, you can always do by typing $target while selecting the character you want to send to your leader, if you're targeting Ms. Wonder, $target becomes Ms. Wonder. But the ability to drag and drop names, or words period, would be a welcome addition to ways to better manage things

The second point, I definitely agree on this point. I believe one annoying broadcast spammer managed to temporarily evade being reported because the character name was a long string of uppercase Is and lowercase Ls. In the City of heroes font, the two were virtually indistinguishable and made it hard for anybody to crack the code (except one). I believe drag-dropping names would've solved that situation rather quickly and easily.

Well, I think that assumes the character is in sight, rather than just getting a tell, or someone from your sg pops on, for examples.
