Input tab - Support pasting in files

Would it be easy to add support for pasting in files, as an alternative means of loading files?
Would have been useful this morning when loading scans from a USB memory, but hardly essential.

I had been scanning to a USB memory on a scanner not connected to a computer. I then plugged the USB memory into my computer and looked at the scans, selected some that I wanted to batch process, and without thinking tried to paste them into the Input tab files space.
When I right-clicked to paste them in there was no context menu displayed, so I am asking whether it would be easy to allow files to be pasted in from a context menu. I have never done that before, but did it twice yesterday so it could in some way be an intuitive action.

Further consideration:
There are really two cases when the files to be loaded have been selected elsewhere:
1. Click in Input tab files window + Ctrl-V
2. Click in Input tab files window + Right-click context menu with Paste option.
Either option would avoid the need to browse to the files to be loaded.
Support for either or ideally both options might be a useful enhancement.
