Then let's make a 'knife for kitchen' :)

Well, drag & drop would be nice. But you'd need some way to tell the 
server what to do anyway - or have a command "use item1 on item2" with 
item identifiers. I didn't want to modify client for my thing in the 
first place. But indeed, now we could think of doing drag & drop. Only 
thing is to keep the command usable from the command line - like all 
other commands.
