We have a particular use case on our app where we need to have more than one designated droppable area, one of them even being there without having plupload loaded yet.

What we currently do is to cache e.dataTransfer.files from our custom droppable area, and we had to make the HTML5 runtime expose the `addSelectedFiles` function so we could push those native files to the uploader. Now, the question is not in how to implement it (it's already done/working for us), but more into if this is feasible to make it something global if there are other runtimes that support this kind of mangling (adding a native file object without the user directly interacting with plupload).

We only use Flash and HTML5, so I don't see the whole picture to decide if this is a feature worth for plupload itself or just another patch that will live in our fork.

ideas? :)
