Drop What You’re Doing

Here is a really cool tip when using Apple OSX: Dropping Text on the Dock for Fast Results.
"Lets say you're reading an article on-line, and you read a sentence that you want to email to a friend. Don't do the copy-and-paste thing. Instead, just highlight the text and drag-and-drop it right on the Mail icon in the Dock. It will open Mail and put that sentence into a new mail message."
I love this. Unfortunately, Notes does not appear to support this feature. (nor does Apple iCal, Apple Address Book, Firefox, Adium, Skype, Twhirl, etc. so please no Notes bashing!) If Notes does support this in a future release, I hope we can define which database/document is created. (mail, calendar, document library, teamroom, blog entry, etc)
