But that would be okay if, say, the VM handled the open document event 
and spawns a new VM with the image in question, no? It might be somewhat 
confusing if you actually drop an image onto another running Squeak and 
expect it to be handled inside Squeak itself but my guess is that most 
people would prefer this to the current situation and it could also be 
controlled via some (VM-level) preference.
