I also would like to have the ability to just drop files on an executable or a batch file or else to launch it as a parameter. This would be much more useful to me than the replace option. It would be nice to be able to configure which behaviour should be used or to toggle it with an unused modifier key.
The workaround with Quick Launch Bar or Button panel is only useful when you only have few applications to use.
By now I have to temporarily switch to another explorer :( when I have to use this functionality although I use Multi Commander for all the other stuff.

If you drag and drop and hold CTRL+SHIFT while dropping on a .exe (so you get the Link overlay on the mouse icon) you get a popup menu whatr do to..  and there you have execute the exe with the dropped file as parameter

Ah yes, nice one, thanks  :) That works fine for .exe files. Is there a possibility to get this also working for .bat, .ps1, .vbs, ...?
BTW: dropping multiple files on a quick launch bar item only sets the first file as parameter, the other files are ignored.

Some programs support multiple files as params, some do not. You can customize QL button and try different settings.
