Summary: | Techniques and apparatuses for content transfers to non-running targets in a multi-application environment are described herein. In one or more implementations, input is detected to relocate a content item exposed within a graphical user interface for the multi-application environment. The relocation may be performed to associate the content item with a target element that is configured to initiate one or more designated actions with respect to the content item by invoking a corresponding application currently in a non-running state. The target element may be configured as an application window, an icon, an application launch element, or other visual representation of the corresponding application. In response to the detected input, the content item is associated with the target element and the corresponding application is launched to cause a switch from the non-running state to an active state in which the one or more designated actions are performed. |
