The copy/paste thing would work if you could paste as a link (this is actually mostly what i do).

Copy/paste within the UR tree *does* create a logical link by default (except when pasting to a location that linking isn't allowed [for instance, onto an item's parent]). Use Ctrl+Shift+V to force paste a copy instead of link.

Still I think being able to drag and hit ctrl+tab (to switch tabs) and paste/link into the second tab would be useful.

We'll consider that.

Just thought of another really convenient feature - if you could do a search and then right-click-drag from the data explorer into a search result and paste/link directly into the search result that would be pretty awsome.

Then instead of searching for the destination manually you can actually use the excellent SEARCH facility =)

So you mean dropping onto a search result would link the dragged items to the item being dropped on? That is not a bad idea (it would be a different behavior than drag/drop into that pane when showing child items [which links to the parent], but could be useful). For now, you could copy, search, double-click the search result, and then paste.
