System Information
Operating system: Windows-8.1 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2 4.5.0 NVIDIA 466.47

Broken: 3.0.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-07-09 23:23, hash: 62d9dabc7d

Short description of error

Parents
Marking an asset with a parent then adding it in a new file adds the asset and recreates object relationships correctly, but only adds the parent's data-block. It'll exist in the Orphan Data tab and manually dragging and dropping it into the scene will add it.

Modifiers
An alternative version of what seems to be the same bug happens with objects referenced in modifiers. If you mark as asset (A) something with a modifier referencing another object (B) then load it it'll recreate the modifier referencing object B just fine, add the object B data-block to the file but also fail to add it to the scene until you drag it to the viewport.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Parents

Add a curve to the scene.
Make it parent of the default cube.
Mark cube object as asset.
Save the file into an asset library folder.
Create a new file and navigate to the asset library.
Drag and drop the cube.
(to confirm parent data-block was added)
Go to Orphan Data in the outliner.
Drag and drop the curve into the viewport.
Return to the View Layer tab.

Modifiers
2. Add a curve modifier to the default cube and select the curve.
3. (up to 9.) Repeat asset creation process and Orphan Data verification.

Can confirm.

@mont29 , @JulianEisel : shouldnt this act the same as regular appending/linking?

This issue is caused by drag and drop code for asset handling instantiation itself (instead of letting append code do it), by passing NULL scene pointer to WM_file_append_datablock.

@JulianEisel I will let you handle this one, but imho you should let append code also deal with instantiation here, this is not a trivial job...
