Yeah, that's a very nice start. So, just as some thoughts relating - 

 - how about some gesture to open a hierarchy browser instead ? Actually, a switch to change a typical browser into a hierarchy browser  - in the manner of the inspect/explore switch - would be interesting

 - all the other browsers ought to support the drag stuff too. I see some do, but the messagetrace doesn't appear to.

 - drag a method into a MessageTrace browser and thus add implementors of that message to the stack. Maybe shift-drag adds senders of the message instead. Or, for a more extensive change, drop the message on the 'senders' button to see the senders, the 'implementors' to see (guess what) the implementors. Hell, have simple drop targets available to perform such actions; drag a method/class/etc onto a 'versions' drop target. Or 'fileout'. Etc.

- Nothing to do with d&d, but how about a very simple way to add notes to methods in a browser? I'm thinking here of using a messagetrace browser and wanting to add little (pop-up?) notes to remind me of any points I notice as I follow the messages up and down. Why was I looking at this? What is it related to? All that stuff it is so easy to forget a week later when you start climbing back up the rabbit hole you fell into.
