Allow Drag and Drop of Polymorphic VI to Block Diagram From Icon

Status: New

Howdy!

 

It would be really cool if I could drag and drop a polymorphic VI from its icon on the the block diagram of a VI, just like a standard VI would do it. The other ways include via the LabVIEW Project or from disk, but I would find this new method quicker when I already have the Polymorphic VI open.

Whilst I am at it, some other things that could be supported include better context help - I get this when really I want the description of the Polymorphic VI to show:

I would like to see this functionality expanded to include the ability to drag and drop the icon from a locked VI to the block diagram.
