I know that Summon does bad things, but I wonder if we could do it in
a safe way.

I am not sure about it; for one, normal UI users probably won't really need this. And also, I find myself using it only rarely since folders have their icon draggable.

I was not aware that dragging a folder icon and dropping it on a Terminal window would set the current directory in the Terminal. This, is quite useful if you already have a Terminal window open. However, if not, it is a two step process. That is, a Terminal window must be created, and then the folder icon dragged to the Terminal window. Whereas, something like Summon can do it in only one step.

Best regards,
