How to handle "drag and drop a file" event to cv2.imshow() window

I want to drag and drop an image file to cv2.imshow() window and fetch the filename path.

There is no event named drag and drop and I need some help.

In my project I remove the background image and I want to change the background with any image.

I did the hard part (removing the background) but I don't know how to handle drag/drop files event in OpenCV python.

def mouse_events(event, x,y, flags,param):
    if event == cv2.EVENT_??: # ?? drag/drop a file event
        # return the filename

while True:
   ...
   cv2.setMouseCallback(windowName, mouse_events)
   ...

handle drag/drop event

Thanks in advance

As @Christoph Rackwitz pointed out, you cannot do this using OpenCV alone. You have to use some GUI programming interface such as PyQt5 or pyside.

This question demonstrates drag and drop functionality with file explorer.

Have a look at this tutorial for integrating with OpenCV
