Add Chests to Minecarts by Left-clicking, and make Minecarts with Chests Break as one Item

To elaborate, right-clicking on empty minecarts with chests, and furnaces, hoppers, and TNT in your hand will automatically place them in the minecart. Furthermore, when a minecart carrying a chest, hopper, furnace, or TNT block is broken, have it not separate into two separate items (e.g., when a minecart with a chest is broken, it separates into the original items used to craft it, forcing you to re-craft it).

These two simple additions/changes would make minecart loading, shipping, carriage, and storage more efficient.

Edited: Added the idea to have minecarts with chests stay together when broken.

    Moved to User Interface, Input Methods and Menu Options as it specifically calls out left-clicking (which is an interface thing).

    Edited: I changed left-clicking to right-clicking, as I got confused because it's the opposite on the Switch version.

    Also, thanks to inkycatz for correcting my other mistake!

    Please make it so you can make them separate in the crafting table.

    This was added in 1.19 but the carts can not be separated anymore in survival. It is possible to make command block chain to separate them, but that kills the purpose of survival.
    Couldn't we just put the cart in crafting grid that it outputs a chest, hopper etc and leaves the cart in crafting grid, or vice versa?
