Sounds like a nice idea additional behaviour option to add. However as that behaviour requires considerable changes to the existing code I chose the more encapsulated option of the menu to "get something now" ;-)

Plus it also requires that you not only have the tag viewer visible but also the category within it visible to drop onto which could require collapsing/scrolling etc first. I frequently have the tag viewer turned off completely while editing metadata for screen real-estate.
