Drag and Drop from Assets to object

[evtonic3]

Could you make it to that one can search for a pattern, or texture from the assets panel in to an object by simply dragging and dropping into a selected object? I feel that there should be a way to do this without all the steps involved.

Like this?

"Search from the panel in to an object" doesn't make sense to me, and feels like two actions were mixed together with some words dropped.

Are you wanting to search within the panel, or to drag from the panel into an object? 

In any case, in V2 I think both are possible:

1. You can search for Assets in the Assets panel.

2.At least in 2.2 beta) not sure when it was introduced) you can drag an Asset onto the Fill well on the Context Toolbar when you have an object selected.

I missed a very important detail that I mistakenly forgot. I meant to drag and drop from the stock panel.

That's exactly the same as with assets and also as Walt said:

So the fill tool is key in this process. @Return how did you learn about this bitmap fill-tap on the image in the stock panel to display inside the selected object? I think this is great but is it documented?

No. The dragging/dropping to a Fill well in the Context Toolbar, Color panel, or Swatches panel (and perhaps others) does not require the Fill tool.

It's documented. For what I've showed, https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/gradientEditor.html  where we can see:

There's also a new function in 2.1, the Vector Flood Fill Tool: https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Introduction/keyFeatures.html?list=allFeatures which tells us:

The Vector Flood Fill Tool description tells us:

So there are several possibilities.
