Hhhmmm, I can answer this question myself:

- Dragging the plugin tiddler works when using the tiddler title from a 
list as handle, e.g. "Open [tiddlers]".
- But: I tried that too fast at first. I then get this errmsg in FF: "The 
address isn't valid. The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."
- So it's necessary to be a little bit more patient than I have been.
