Dragging a file from the Project view or from the DITA Maps Manager view and dropping it into a DocBook 4 document that is edited in Author mode creates a link to the dragged file (the ulink DocBook element) at the drop location. Dragging an image file from the default file system application (Windows Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac OS X, for example) and dropping it into a DocBook 4 document inserts an image element (the inlinegraphic DocBook element with the fileref attribute) with the location of the dragged file at the drop location (similar with the Insert Graphic toolbar action).
