I had asked for something close in may 2011 (cf. below), and J. Rioux
had pointed out it was also linked to tickets 6061 and 6675. So, it
seems to be a rather formidable task within LyX.

I don't know how formidable it is. It may not be very hard at all. Qt certainly provides support for drag and drop, and the page "Using Drag and Drop with Item Views", in the Qt documentation, seems to give most of the information one would need.

As always with open source projects, the issue here is who wants to scratch which itch and how much time we all do (or, better, don't) have to work on LyX. If one of the developers really needed this functionality, I'm sure it would have gotten done a long time ago; but none of us do, it would seem, and we're all focused on other things we do feel like we need, or feel like LyX needs more. E.g., if I had time to do something besides fix bugs, I'd be working on BibLaTeX integration.

If anyone does want to have a go at this, as I said, I think the instructions in the Qt docs are probably quite easy to follow. The class that manages the outline is in GuiToc.cpp.
