Actually, you CAN drag to Applications...

You actually can drag anything to an icon in the toolbar in the Finder, and it will copy. The trick is to hold down the <option> key while doing it!

Yes, it's temporary. I've never had them stick around long. I've also never checked to see what exactly makes them go away, but I've done this dozens of times.
