Yes, of course.  If you’re in a LaTeX buffer and drag an image file from the finder, it gets inserted as a LaTeX code reference to the file.  IIRC, I wrote the code that does this in Aquamacs (using Lisp).

Take a look at dnd.el and smart-end.el.  If you do C-h k and then give it a drag&drop event, you can see that this is a normal Lisp event to which you may bind a command.

I just tried to do this from Chrome, and did get the event, but not the desired functionality.  This would require some investigation on your part. 

Apologies for my earlier answer.  I should have paid attention to the words “long-time emacs user”.  Particularly with Aquamacs, we get a lot of questions here from people that use it as an out-of-the-box editor.
