My use case is to better integrate my Electron app into the desktop environment. This includes being able to copy a file to clipboard and paste it to the native OS explorer/finder as well as to drag and drop between the app and the desktop.

As of today the closest I can get is by leveraging Chrome's own support for dragging out files to the desktop (http://www.thecssninja.com/javascript/gmail-dragout). However this support seems limited to the OS explorer/finder and does not work to drag something into another application (eg. Sublime).

Opening this issue to gather some ideas how to support this kind of feature and maybe other developers have found solutions already?
