Ah, you're right about the click and hold to get the arrow. At that point,
one can drag and drop text within the same item.

I was trying to drag and drop text between items. Once the cursor exists the
first item, the snippet becomes incarnates as a new item with all the
expected item behaviors. Other items don't "open up" and make themselves
available as targets to drop the text into. That probably makes sense.

I suppose it could be handy if enabled with a modifier key so you could have
whichever behavior you wanted, but there's obviously bigger fish to fry
feature-wise.
