10.4: You can do similar
Authored by: wfolta on Fri, Dec 21 2007 at 3:36PM PST

In 10.4's Preview, you have to drag the icon at the TOP of the window, and use the appropriate key modifier. The default is to copy a link, but you hold down CMD (I think) to get an actual copy of the file, etc.

I often forget and try to drag from the sidebar and end up now having no access to that file from Preview. Glad it's a bit more intuitive in Leopard! (But don't feel left out Tiger-users!)
