How about a applet onto which you drop a folder and the applet does
something long-term with that folder, such as monitors it for a certain
file. Or an applet that keeps track of the last 100 files dropped onto
it and gathers them up at some point. These sort of long-term
applications certainly need to keep track of each file even if the file
moves.
Yes, you don't need this functionality every time you drop a file on an
applet but it is still necessary in some circumstances and it should be
kept.

When an icon is dropped onto an AppleScript application Finder

user to drop the icon and then move the target while the AppleScript
is running.
