Is it possible to write a script in cygwin, say bash or perl, create a shortcut
to it in windows, and drag and drop a path or a url to it and have the script
run and take it as an argument somehow ?

If you drag and drop files onto a batch script, Windows will run the
batch script with the files as arguments. So you just need to write a
batch script which will load bash and tell it to run your script with
those arguments. As an example, you can edit your cygwin.bat, and change
this line:
bash --login -i
to this:
bash -i -e /script/you/want/to/run.bash %*
And that will do what you want. Keep in mind that the file names will be
in the Windows path format, so you will probably want to use a wrapper
script that applies cygpath to them before passing them on to something
else.
If you want the script to run inside an xterm or whatever, you can do
that too.
