Can I use Jquery to implement a drag drop file from outside into web page (inter-Window drag drop) (like gmail attachment)?

Question

Can I use Jquery to implement a drag drop file into web page (like gmail attachment)?

Research so far has not shown existing examples:

https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=drag+and+drop
jQuery Drag and Drop Upload (yup, use Jquery, no sh**, sherlock, but HOW?)
http://ask.metafilter.com/48575/Drag-and-drop-across-browser-windows (It's possible, but discussion here a bit vague
Are there any good jQuery drag and drop file upload plugins? (Question asks for gmail drag and drop, but answer is drag drop items within same browser page window, not from outside, from another window as in gmail)

Did you try the plugin listed from the 'jQuery Drag and Drop Upload' link? — Nicholas Smith
+1 I'll have look: I think you mean plugins.jquery.com/project/dnd-file-upload from the 2nd comment in: stackoverflow.com/questions/4931257/jquery-drag-and-drop-upload/… — therobyouknow
+1 @Nicholas Smith - great. If it was an answer I would accept it unless there are better answers out there. (I don't think there are though). — therobyouknow
