The only way I could figure out how to make Web locations without using drag and drop was to create one in a text editor. I just open TextEdit, make sure I'm in plain text mode and then paste in the following text:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>URL</key>
<string>http://www.aol.com</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Then just change the URL on the 6th line to whatever you want and save it as something like www.aol.com.webloc. After that, if you open the file in Finder it should open Safari right to the URL you put in there.
