Drag and Drop in Office JS page to Word Document

Question

I am creating an online office add-in for the Word application. I have created an HTML page with some fields like, Name, Address, Mobile etc. On drag and drop of such a field I want to create a MergeField in Word Document.

I have done R&D regarding drag and drop but I am not able to find how to control a drop event outside of the container.

Is there any way to fulfill my requirement?

Due to browser limitations we don’t currently support drag and drop from the taskpane to the word surface.

But what many developers have implemented is a ‘+’ button to add items into the document, or other sorts of events like dbl click.
