I have looked online and I haven't found how to drag and drop on snipping tool. This would be an extremely useful tool but it seems Microsoft may disable it. Any workarounds?

When I tested in Windows 11 (23H2), I was able to successfully drag an image file and drop it on the Snipping Tool. It worked for PNG, GIF, JPG, and BMP when I tested it.
I could do the same in Windows 10 Snip and Sketch tool.
What happens when you drag and drop files on the Snipping Tool?
