The text sounds a bit like you can drag the icon to other applications,
only.

Actually, it is 100% (AFAIK) like dragging an icon from the Finder.  You
can drag the icon to the bin, a printer, the desktop, an application...
(Sometimes the results can be a bit surprising for the uniniatiated, for
example, when dragging moves the file to a different location :-)).

Alas, I can't find an official documentation of that feature.
