Yes, there is.

Aquamacs comes with smart-dnd, which allows you to add a handler for drag-and-drop events for just shell-mode.  This is how dragging and dropping into LaTeX and HTML buffers works.  The manual comes with the package:

When you've written this and it works, post it here so others may benefit (and I'll probably add it to Aquamacs in that case).
