TM would have to explicitly register for non-file/text types. But it would also have to have code to actually handle that drop. I.e. if AB does not provide the info as a file, there is presently no system for the drop command to actually get to the data.
Apple clearly changed something. In Tiger, a drag command for "vcf" files that was simply 'echo $TM_DROPPED_FILE` would insert some temporary file name when invoked by dragging a card directly from AB. Presumably, that temporary file was the reason the drag command worked. Maybe Leopard has "streamlined" things to where the temporary file is no longer made.
Frankly, I was surprised when dragging a card from AB to TM worked in Tiger. I'll just have to decide on another way of transferring the information.
