UI components for rich client apps should be able to determine which mouse button is used for a drag and drop operation of any object (palette item, bean tree node, etc.), so different actions could be performed upon a drop. Perhaps this should be part of the rules for APIs - in cases where the mouse and other UI tools are used, all information which is available should be made available.
