Asset Lib: Drag/drop scripts to execute

It would be nice to be able to fire simpler scripts via the upcoming asset browser. Addons and operators are great for many tasks, but there are lots of times simple one-off tasks or automation is useful in a pipeline.

-Drop a script to execute or an execute button in the toolbar?

-Would drop callbacks be useful in the python API? (ie: GetDropLocation() , GetDroppedOnObject() , etc)

Sounds ok. Need some outliner with list of scripts as .py etc.

If you want to fire a one off task, you could just load the script into the text editor and run it. If you want things like the location the script was 'dropped', that's really starting to sound like something that should be an addon in my opinion.
