Screencast showing generic document icon that follows the pointer

# Current

When dragging a link in Epiphany, a generic 'document' icon follows the pointer around. However, this is unhelpful as there is no indication what type of 'thing' the user is dragging (i.e. a link to a website) or which URL the user is dragging.

# Proposal

The title of the linked URL and the URL itself should form a link preview card that follows the pointer around when a link is dragged.
