@johnlea: "The main issue we have is with application support, but this is something app authors need to fix on a per app basis, not something we can fix in the shell."

I'm not a programmer, but I doubt this, as AWN Dock handles the issue without any problems. To me this indicates, that this is not a really enormous bug, that could not be solved in Unity. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 by the way.
Also, depending on filetype, Unity just greyes out some applications (when you try to drag a file), which seems like a much more complicated (and restrictive) "feature" to me.
