What about a brain dead simple "path drag&drop" ?

Example for .obj:

- in blender open the Obj file importer
- in the file browser select a file (e.g.: abc.obj)
- then drag the file onto the blender importer
- Now the filepath and the filename in blender will be set accordingly.
- All the rest of the import remains as usual

The same could work with cut&paste.

The Benefits which i see:

- User does not need to use the Blender file importer navigation
- User specifies which importer to use (no automatic search)
- Import options can be modified in the import operator panel
