My quick test on a Chrome browser suggests that links dragged from a Chrome tab used as a file browser also may contain the full file path name. To me, dragging from a browser tab would be the most universal way of doing things, since a plugin would have to be specific not only to the browser but also the operating system (it's likely that Linux and Mac are going to present link drag/drops differently than Win OS).
On the old TW, with the Javscript plugin, I would probably just have written a routine that grabbed a list of files and created a tiddler for each one containing a link of the right type pointing to a local relative path. I'm finding it harder to get into coding in TW5. Thanks!
