• Shortcut to the location is created at the destination when dragged

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the delayed response. I've added this to the project board.
Few things I don't see working well as dragging selects the text since the address bar is text based. You can also already right click folders/files to make a shortcut.

When dragging to the taskbar on the "Files" icon, the location is pinned to the jump list

I don't think this is even possible as Windows taskbar doesn't allow it

I think this is referring to dragging an item in the breadcrumb bar so it shouldn't conflict with selecting text.

@333csx thank you for your feedback, we wanted to let you know that we currently don't have plans to implement this option.
