One of the Picker mods does exactly this, and I love it so much. Especially because I can never remember the wire length, so I just place a pole real close, wire it up, then nudge it over to where I want it. I feel that demonstrates this is a reasonable feature to add, though it would be nicer to have a ... I guess a variant of cut and paste that wasn't so destructive? Same thing, more mouse driven.
