Change the standard file-placement behaviour from Bridge to Illustrator so that it places the contents of the AI file (rather than a PDF or a PNG).

Say you've got a local library of picture elements, and you're browsing it in Bridge; you need to bring those elements into a currently open AI file. What do you do?

The obvious thing is to use Bridge like a library navigator, and simply drag the ai file into your composition. However, you can't;What actually happens is you get a PNG file; if you shift-drag you get a PDF file; both are useless.

And if you go online, some smart person will tell you to use symbols libraries, which isn't a huge help.

It would be even better if you could view it directly in the library panel in Illustrator. That would mean syncing your local library directory (and CC files) with CC Libraries.
