There is no similar way to do a link. Don't change the cards on the table, it is not fair. You proposed a windows-like approach where the menu only appears when you right-drag. Esben said your proposal would be less discoverable than the current state, because people would not even _try_ to drag with the right button. To that, you reply there is no way to create a link _without_ drag and drop (Paste as link). This is true, but is a _completely different matter_ and a completely different request. I suggest you to make up your mind first, only then to speak.
