Microsoft outlook can create a new task by dragging a mail to the calendar. It's so convenient for me. Can thunderbird and lightning support this function?

For example, when receiving a message, in Microsoft outlook I can just drag this message to the calendar by the mouse, a task will be created automatically, with quoting the message. But in thunderbird if drag the message to the calendar, nothing happen.

right click > convert to > even or task.

The drag and drop looks like it should work, but always throws an error about a read only calendar.
