Believe it or not, this is a feature added in a patch that comes with Windows 8.1, apparently. If you disable "Protected Mode" in the options, this behavior will come back.

@Zoredache There are ways to run Modern Apps in desktop mode, but it does appear to be the desktop version of IE. However, it's best if the OP specifies (what OS?

This is a problem of 64 bit version windows. If you use 32 bit windows 8.1, dragging a link works fine.
