When the drop is validated in the right window (type of item accepted), I would like to either display a window above the right window or change the right window content to give the user a list of more detailed possible drop locations.

Seems like a "sheet" would be appropriate.

It's not appropriate in this case and it would make the operation less transparent to the user. The sheet solution would require these additional things:


- showing the sheet

- clicking at least one

- hiding the sheet

The solution I'm looking into just requires moving the mouse.

I have tried with a window but the target of the drop does not get changed.

Probably no one understands what you mean by that. I don't.

When the drop is validated, if you display a new window under the current position of the mouse, the target of the drop is not moved to the new window even if you move the mouse.
