So far as I know, there's no way to do this. Send feedback to the Cocoa
feedback team. I sent some feedback a while ago, and I got some replies
from someone at Apple who seemed interested. If enough people send
feedback, they might realize that this is something that people need and
add support for this in 10.2.

Well, I still haven't found a way to do drag and drop to the Finder for
files correctly...
It seems the files have to exist and I have to specify them
immediately. This is not correct behaviour, IMO, as Finder should ask
me to provide the actual files when it wants them - it does so for
strings.
When I declare the types, I specify a private type, file names and a
string. I only actually provide the private type (internal app drag and
drop) and the string.
Problem is, Finder never asks me for the files and accepts the string
as a text clipping. If I provide the files up-front, it takes them. I
don't want to have to create temporary files just for a pasteboard
which might not end up in the Finder. Besides, when can I delete the
files if they're not wanted!
Has anyone figured a way around this issue yet? I tried a search of
CocoaDev but came up empty handed.
I bet it worked okay in Workspace.app.
