Thank you for your suggestions, I tried all of them, and none work well because unfortunately the drag & drop of bits of information is a critical feature I need.
So far Noteshare is the best option I’ve encountered, regardless that sometimes is clunky .
Thank you again

MyInfo, WhizFolders both allow drag ‘n drop, have tags which may be helpful for organizing, cloning capability, and opening more window than once.

I recently used RightNote for a large (undergrad) academic project. I had one node for just dumping info as I researched, especially handy with Google Scholar, since it will give you formatted citations at the same time. It will also attach non-DRM PDF files and make them searchable.
When it came time to write the paper, I did a lot of rearranging, with the information already in the database, it was fairly painless. I suppose I could have used a proper academic tool but I already use RightNote databases for personal info and work notes. (I keep it on USB, as I work on multiple computers in many locations.)

RN does do drag and drop, btw. I had sub-nodes as small as one paragraph. The only thing I didn’t like was that you had to either export or do a print preview to see them all together.
