[BUG] Broken read-multiple-choice help in DND local file handler [9.7.2

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I drag a file onto a buffer and use `?' at the resulting
`read-multiple-choice' prompt to open the help buffer,
a `(wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p attach)' error occurs.
Ultimately, `org--dnd-local-file-handler' passes a symbol where
`read-multiple-choice' expects a “description” string: the optional
third entry of each “choice”.  Cf. the documentation string of 
`read-multiple-choice':

> CHOICES should be a list of the form (KEY NAME [DESCRIPTION]).
> KEY is a character the user should type to select the entry.
> NAME is a short name for the entry to be displayed while prompting
> (if there’s no room, it might be shortened).
> DESCRIPTION is an optional longer description of the entry; it will
> be displayed in a help buffer if the user requests more help.

I hope that helps.
Thanks for the useful feature and the great 9.7 release. 🙃
