Drag and drop implies you're dragging one thing to another and then releasing. This is not the same as clicking, holding, and having something else you then have to move your cursor to appearing.
I should have been more specific. I cannot think of a single instance of a popular web application or site that uses a click and hold mechanic to navigate or edit.

- robotresearcher 13y agoThe original mac menus: click, hold, drag mouse to option you want, release mouse. Still works like that now, but the Windows-style click-release-move-click works too.
