I suggust to post this idea in ArcGIS Ideas website I agree dragging to a toolbar is great feature. To add a result to a toolbox, create a model and then drag the result to the model. To have a result in another map (or folder) simply save the result as a result file (.rlt) and then drag it to another map.

However I would like to share my comments: I see that this is a rant rather than a question. Let's flush them out of the brush, dust 'em off, and dress up for general consumption. I'm convinced there are means and methods of utilizing what Esri already provides in an improved manner. This is a rant, but it's not just a rant. Not as temporary chaff swept up by the night time cleaning staff on the weekends when I'm not around. These result things, the record of steps taken, are important. As there is little to know discussion of this elsewhere it may have just been a bug with my local install.)) ((Drag from 'Previous Session' working as of 10.3.1.

nasty addition to previous: if your ArcMap session crashes, say goodbye to all your results since last save.

mxd every time I needed to do a few things my document management overhead would go through the roof.

ArcCatalog results are not saved at all, if you don't consciously save them they're gone baby.

Does anyone have any solutions for these friction points? Namely: However, it's also frustrating, because some things which ought to be straightforward just aren't, and it's easy to inadvertently lose stuff you want to keep. I use it constantly as a means of documenting the essential parts of a project's workflow, re-using often accessed geoprocessing tools, and archeology ( now, what the heck did we use for the input last time? today's result doesn't $%^#$%& match!). The ArcGIS Results Window is an incredibly useful way to keep track of what has been done in a particular map.
