      So the question was, how can
    the code know if somebody has reconfigured the dropping of file names
    to actually insert the file name as text instead of opening it?

I don't see why it is difficult to give the user a way to specify the
answers.

    I'm working on dired so it will handle drop of files as a file manager,
    i.e. move, copy or link them to the directory.

Thanks.  The point I am making now is that we want to teach people
something else--such as dropping on a mode line--as the way
to visit a file.  That would work regardless of what kind of buffer
is currently displayed in the window.
