Drop text or links onto tab bar blank space to open in a new tab

e.g. you are reading a page, you select some text, drag it to the tab bar to the right of the tabs (i.e. blank space)... drop.. and poof, it opens in a new tab:

1. the link if it is a bonafide link
2. the domain if it is a domain or text based representation of a link
3. if it is just some other text, a search for that text

pros:

1. This would be one of those time saving features that if someone uses, they would use a lot.
2. this would be a very cool feature that should be fairly easy to implement

cons

1. not a real con because it is relatively easy to implement, but some people might not think to do this... but others will or they might read about it in the release notes.
