I've never done this, but I think a good place to start would be with
the Dock Time Programming Guide:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/customizing_docktile/intro/dockintro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000986-CH1-TP1

Maybe create a custom view for your dock tile then track the mouse
and/or drag events over it?
