Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ImGui issue and how Polyscope currently handles viewer input and file opening. The issue names no files or tests, so first define the cross-platform integration points and supported platforms; done means drag-and-drop opening works consistently across them.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi, I would like to have a "drap-n-drop to open file" feature and was wondering if this is sth that should be embedded into the viewer.

On ImGui's page, I found this:
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2602

But I'm not sure how this should be integrated into polyscope to be multi-platform compatibable.
