So far the answer seems to be 'yes'.

Personally, I find, with an OS such as MacOS or RISC OS where
drag-and-drop is widely implemented, it feels more intuitive to drag a
file for deletion to a location (or out of it for recovery) rather
than have to initiate a series of menu choice. It is also quicker.

That would be a nice additional feature, but BlackHole2 seems to do
pretty much what I want as it stands. Thanks to all who contributed to
the thread for their help.
