Inconsistent drag-and-drop capabilities with location buttons

Description

If you drag a location button, it does not provide the same targets as dragging an icon of a file.

This prevents some convenient drag-and-drop capabilities. To enter a folder in the GTK file manager, I can drag that folder's icon into the file manager and it'll go there. However, I cannot drag the location bar buttons into a file chooser for the same effect -- the result is that I have to move up a folder and drag an icon if I want to make use of this.

It would be nice if the location buttons would provide the same drop targets as the file icons.

For reference, this ability works in Nautilus.
