[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Programmatic Initiation of Drag & Drop

Is there a way to programmatically initiate a drag and drop action?

For example, there is a painted element on screen that is moveable via dragging on the canvas. The canvas is the only heavy weight object as the elements are rendered. What I want to do is utilize the normal mouse drag events to continue to have real time dragging of the element within the canvas area, but initiate a DnD action if the element is dragged off the edge of the canvas.

I asked this question a while but the API back then couldn't support my scenario. I'm just wondering if any new changes have been made that might let me do this.
