If I understand your proposal correctly, you propose not to use cocoa dragging. 
However, please correct me if I am wrong, but I think this would make it 
impossible to drag the objects to other applications, such as Keynote. This 
would make our users unhappy (the objects have a pdf representation that some 
users want to drag into Keynote)
