drag and drop

In computing, in graphical user interfaces, feature that allows users to select a file name or icon using a mouse and move it to the name or icon representing a program so that the computer runs the program using that file as input data.

This method is convenient for computer users, as it eliminates unnecessary typing. Moving the name of a text file, for example, to a copy of a word processor will start up the word processor with that file loaded and ready for editing.
