Haha excellent!!!

I never suspected it was possible though I knew MS VS can show DDS images and other resources through D&D.

OTOH if the MS VSCode editor can show glTF (Sketchfab) models then why MS VS shouldn't show .OBJ files?

BTW that feature has been supported for many years now. See your balls.obj in my VS2013 below:
