    I'm implementing an Action Bar system where the user can drag any ability into any other slot.
    If the user moves the ability to an empty slot, I have that working fine.
    If the user moves the ability to an occupied slot, right now I have the choice of making it take over the data from the occupied slot or swapping the data. Neither of these solutions seem good enough for me.

    I would like for the occupied slot to be picked back up so that I can move it to a new slot. This seems like the most user-friendly solution (and lots of MMOs do this).

    I'm currently using OnBeginDrag, OnDrag and OnEndDrag functionality to do what I need. Ideally I'd like the occupied ability to be the 'eventData' of 'OnDrag' when i let go of my left mouse button but I can't find a way to do this (aka call the Event while not actually having mouse button held).

    Any ideas?
