Using modifier keys to switch drag behaviour between operations like copy, move and link has been standard on GUIs for many years. Extending selection on Shift+Click and Shift+Drag is also standard behaviour. If you want to change the behaviour then thoroughly investigate what all the calls are supposed to do and how they are used in standard widgets and other applications.
