nice-to-have feature. very useful for (single) touch screens, too, I guess.

• click & hold hotcue button to play from that position
• while holding, move cursor above Play button (Play button highlighted?)
• release
  = deck keeps playing, hotcue button is released

a highlight for possible drop areas would be great, too.
a bit like #8936

Yes, that would be useful. Maybe surprising but actually intuitive.

for anyone interested:
take a look at how tracks are dragged from deck to deck for example, and how deck cloning works.

might be a fun feature for touch screen applications, too.
