Currently (Xcode 2.3) if I drag a file's icon from the project
window into an editing window (the part where the text is), Xcode
inserts a URL to the file. This doesn't seem very useful to me.
I'd rather see the file's contents, just as if I dragged it to the
Navigation bar at the top. I like large drag targets that don't
require careful aiming. :-)  I could see an argument for inserting
the dragged file's contents, but inserting a URL string into my
source code just doesn't seem useful at all.

If you put it inside a comment, you can click on that URL and it will open that file.

Interesting. I could see that being useful, but it's definitely something I wouldn't have found on my own. Thanks.

BTW, this seems to work for any URL; so it is not limited to local files;
very cool.

It does. I've seen files in which the author used them to link to the source files originating web page or a license file.
