In v1.0.6, boats were added. When broken, they would drop 3 planks and 2 sticks. In 1.3.1, this was changed so that when broken, they would drop their item shape, to be reusable. This can be related to minecarts. When a minecart breaks, it drops its item form. However, if a Minecart with Hopper, Minecart with Chest, Minecart with Furnace, or Minecart with TNT breaks, it drops a minecart and their respective item separately. For example, a Minecart with Hopper will drop a minecart and a hopper. My suggestion would be to be able to use a dispenser with either a hopper, furnace, chest, or tnt, on a normal minecart to turn it into one of the variations of the classic minecart, as well as being able to right click with any of those items too. this would be similar to the Waxing feature being added to 1.17, where you can dispense honeycomb, or right click to apply the honeycomb to a block of copper to wax it. I think being able to break a Minecart with hopper and get a Minecart with Hopper in item form would not be a good tradeoff. The dispensing mechanic would be better, as it has a positive and a negative. The positive being able to craft a Minecart with Hopper without having to use the crafting section of your inventory, because that can get very repetitive with large amounts of Minecarts. I think the negative of having to still assemble it back together would be a good way of making sure this feature still resembles the current mechanics.(as of 1.16.5)
