Sorry I didn't see your question sooner. The helper that you're dragging
around is accessible via ui.helper, like so
$("#drag").draggable({
start: function(event, ui) {
ui.helper.append('text');
}
});
See
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Draggable/draggable#options
for a full list of properties on the 'ui' argument.
