  I feel as that's the easy part.

I don't see a good reason not to be able to drag one, considering you can do elsewhere in UI (launchers, file view items, ...). It's just consistent DND support in the system.
  
  But is it necessary though to be performed from the Task Manager? That leads only to unwanted behavior. If one really wants to do that or has a use case for it then I assume KRunner or the Application Launcher can pick up the slack. Also I think it's note worthy that as you probably know no major (and I say major to cover my bases, but it's probably all of them) DE supports this kind of behavior. Maybe they missed the memo on this being a useful feature.
