This might be enough. Check with someone knowledgable...

What about using a mouse button? (Mac does not have that... :-)
If I drag (with Left Mouse Button - LMB) a file over a folder and
klick (MMB or RMB) I get:
  Move
  Copy
  Link
  Cancel
Why not add some alternatives from ordinary use of RMB !!!
  Open in New Window
  Open in New Tab
  Action -> Open Terminal Here
and additionally
  Open Temporary Window
With this in mind MMB should get something resembling the configured MMB 
action (i have Open in background tab - that won't work...)

So the shortcut would be
	Drag above folder, click middle mouse button (a spring folder opens), repeat,
	drop
	(Temporary folders close)
