And you have been able to for a long time. Even in Classic Mac. I had a
bizarre little AppleScript where my Trash would "chase" my hard drive around
the screen. The hard drive "wanted" to get to the center of the screen to
some other icon (I do not even recall what now) but avoid the Trash.

If the Trash "caught" the hard drive it then the hard drive would be thrown
out. And then emptied.

Of course, I did not really throw out the hard drive! It was moved off
screen and another file was copied to the Trash. Then the Trash would move
back its standard spot and "burp" the hard drive out which would start the
whole thing over again.

OK, I never said it was a useful AppleScipt, but in making it I did move
things in and out of the Trash and otherwise work with it. No issue at all.
