One way to avoid this is to click the Link icon at the top right of the
script editor window, so the editor will remain open even if the object is
deselected. (I am not all that happy with the option-drag solution - it's
mainly a stopgap until we have drag-and-drop between windows.)

Just set the object the way you want it in the first and last key frames.
The animation will change the object's rect as well as its location
continuously through the animation.
