It may be obvious to you personally. It's been however clearly defined
in the Gnome HIG (table 10.1). 

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/userinput.html#drag-drop

On other platforms it's not marginally different. MacOSX's Finder uses
its two key modifier combo for links (option+alt). I believe windows'
explorer uses right mousebutton drag to bring up the context menu or
alt+drag to create links.
