Dragging links from browser creates task for currently selected Outlook item instead

[Warren Butt]

Chrome Version 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Firefox Version 68.2.0esr (64-bit)

Outlook 2013 (15.0.5233)

MLO Version 5.0.8 Professional

Dragging from the address bar of both Chrome and Firefox and dropping on the task panel to create a child task results in a task created from the currently selected item in Outlook. If I close Outlook it instead results in an error from MLO.

Judging by the error, it seems that instead of reading the dropped object correctly MLO is just assuming I'm trying to drop from Outlook and "cheating" by using interop to grab the currently selected item in Outlook instead. Does anybody know a way around this? I'd like tasks based on work items (pages) from our site and dragging would be easier than copy/create new task/paste.
