Sure since version 2.xx

Here are some scripts to get you started...

You can put this into a fields script, so you will end with the path to 
the dropped
object in that field, just a basic idea... ;-)

on dragenter
   set the acceptdrop to true
   ## NOW the user may dragdrop things
end dragenter

on dragdrop
   ## User dropped something onto your field
    repeat for each line l in the dragdata
    ## could be more than 1 file
      put l & CR after ddd
    end repeat
    put ddd into me
end dragdrop

Now you have the path and can do whatever you want with ;-)
