I think if options are required, then the merge dialog is the way to go.
The merging from the log dialog should be the fast way, i.e. with no
options to set but just doing the default merge.

Unfortunately, no.
The reason is simple: it's not possible to get the target path when
dropping from one app to another, because the target app decides whether
it can handle whatever the source application is offering (text, files,
images, ...). The target app also decides what to do with that dropped
data (for example, you can drop files on mail applications, but you
can't merge the files there).

I was thinking of using some undocumented features to find out whether
the target application is the explorer process and then find out what
the target path would be. But that way is risky, undocumented and might
lead to a big mess.
