This feature extends the existing DownloadURL drag type to allow users to drag and drop multiple files simultaneously from a web application (such as a webmail client or a web-based tool) directly to their desktop or file system on Windows. Historically, the DownloadURL drag type has been limited to supporting the download of a single file per drag-and-drop operation. This new design addresses that limitation by introducing a JSON array format for the DownloadURL string, allowing it to carry information for multiple files.
This enhancement addresses a significant pain point for users who frequently interact with web applications that involve multiple downloadable items. For example, users can now download multiple email attachments from a webmail client (e.g., Outlook Web) or export multiple generated reports or images from a web-based tool using a single drag gesture, rather than being forced to perform multiple, inefficient, and cumbersome drag-and-drop operations for each file.

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
