Hello! Seeing as what I wanted to do wasn't possible I created a patch which extends the XDnD support in GNOME Shell. The patch allows for actors to accept XDnD drops and retrieve information about them. You can find the patch along with a simple extension demonstrating its usage at the following URL:
http://jocketf.se/files/xdnd/ The patch and extension was written for GNOME Shell 3.6.2. If there is any interest in this I can try to make it work for the Git master as well.
