I agree that dragging and dropping is a much needed feature, some programs will only allow you to access features if you can drag and drop files into their interface.
Unfortunately it appears that dragging and dropping seems to be very poorly implemented, in Jaws 8 at least. When I received some training back in 2006 from sight and Sound in the UK they told me that they were unable to support training in dragging and dropping. They said that this was because the feature only actually worked in a tiny number of circumstances. The circumstances it will work applied exclusively to Windows Explorer and could not be usefully used with other programs. So it was considered not actually a useful feature to provide training in. The situation may have improved with later versions of Jaws but I have not checked this out. NVDA, the freeware screenreader provides the ability to hear what is under the mouse cursor and there is some audible feedback when you move the mouse about the screen. You may be able to cobble together some techniques using these NVDA features but I have not tried this.
