Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes you want to drage a file from one workspace to another using only the mouse.
For eg. you want to drag a file from an explorer window in workspace 1 to the discord window( for sending it as an attachment) in workspace 2 using only the mouse.

Describe the solution you'd like
When you're "holding" a file and you move your mouse to the screen edges, the workspace should switch to the next adjacent workspace.

Why don't you use normal keyboard shortcuts as you normally would? If you are using whkd with default keybinds, let's say you are on workspace 1 and want to move a file to workspace 2, simply start dragging the file, press alt + 2 while holding the mouse button and it will change to workspace 2 where you can drag and drop wherever you'd like... I do this all the time without any problems.

Yep I'm aware that you can perform this function with the keyboard but this is for the times when you can just use the mouse.

I don't think that this feature is worth the complexity it would introduce into the codebase. This would be better explored through a separate process which integrates with komorebi via socket messages.
