Drag and Drop *FROM* a browser?

The very thing you are trying to do can be found here: http://www.thecssninja.com/javascript/gmail-dragout.

This is an explanation for how to drag an anchor tag to the desktop, and the file will be downloaded there. (Or drag the anchor tag onto another application, and the OS will treat it appropriately.)

What I haven't figured out yet, is how to drag-and-drop multiple links (instead of only one at a time) via HTML5, without having to resort to an external resource library like jquery.
