You can use the 'hover' object by Tim Place, it reports the name of the object it is hovering over... This could easily be used for this purpose....

I've used it to make a drag 'n' drop filebrowser... using Topher Lafata's filebrowser.mxj and any named object for dropping the files onto - i.e. waveform
