Research direction
Examine the core source code of Editor.js, particularly files related to block rendering and manipulation in the `src` directory. Look for existing drag and drop implementations or event handlers. The issue has no linked PRs, so explore the current block selection logic and implement drag functionality using HTML5 Drag and Drop API or mouse events.
