Drop objects in a SubVI

Can something like this be made possible ?

- I have a SubVI placed in Main BD and I need to place some additional functions in it.

Can I drop these functions inside the SubVI without opening its BD.

While development, I might want to add more functions inside my SubVI to provide additional outputs.This way, I can see the Main VI code and accordingly drop the required functions inside the SubVI.

And how exactly would that work?  You have to wire up the functions.  You have to open up the block diagram of your subVI in order to edit it.

Ever dragged a file or folder in Windows Explorer over to the sidebar and drop it just as it expands a tree item, and find that you don't know where it got placed? This makes me think of that. It's not exactly the same since you'd see what VI you were hovering over much more easily, but what about where the code actually gets placed? Would it automatically open the SubVI at that point with your dropped code pre-selected? If not, you would just break the subVI and have to open it anyway; so why not just cut, open VI, and paste? If it's that important to you, might it be easier to just invoke a quickdrop script that opens a selected VI and inserts the code on the clipboard and makes it the active selection?
