Oh, that would be most sweet. Is this not something that could be integrated with Escale or NewtSync? Both apps do their job quite okay (though I struggle to get Escale work for more than a single pkg in a row, it always needs a restart & reconnect, and somehow I cannot paste when using the keyboard over it). If there was something like a complete OSX version of NCU (comlete with real backup *sigh*) it should allow this drag & drop action as NCU does now when importing, say, text, to the Newt. Making this work for all kinds of files would (from my code-ignorant perspective) mean adding a filter that scans the filytype/content and then runs a matching script.
