drapplet?

I rarely make script apps, so this may be a really naive question. Is it widely (at all?) recognized that you can have a script app that can be run either by double-clicking or by dragging files over it? A "drapplet"? As follows:

-- Demonstration of a "drapplet":
-- a script that can be run either by double-clicking
-- or by dragging files over its icon

on run argv
display alert "Double-clicked or run from editor"
-- I don't know how to tell the difference
end run

on open args
set oldDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return & return}
try
display alert "Files dropped:" & return & return & (args as text)
end try
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiters
end open
