Are there any Windows Server compatible remote desktop clients that allow drag and drop? [on hold]

Are there any RDP clients that do allow drag and drop between the client computer and Windows Server (2012+) running Remote Desktop services? I will accept answers that work on Linux-based, Mac, or Windows systems.
I'm well aware that the MS RDP client will NOT do drag and drop, rather the solution is cut and paste. That's fine for file transfers, but doesn't help when drag and drop is used as part of a document manager's UI for linking files to items.
Added Clarification:
The remote application is not displayed on a full desktop, rather as a "remote app", which displays and pretends to be a local application. As such, users don't inherently have access to other server resources in the same manner as their local resources. E.g.: They can't (currently) open Explorer from the remote server's point of view to use mapped drives for accessing the documents that need to be linked.

Another solution is to share a folder on the server, for instance C:Sharesajkshare , and map a drive to it on the remote machine. If these PCs are all on the same domain, a login script can map the drive for everyone or users you specify. If the material is sensitive, then individual shares can be made and security locked down for each share. Then, whoever needs drag-n-drop can use it.

@ChristopherHostage That is a very reasonable solution. The thing is that we are using remote app, rather than full remote desktop view... same services, but different way the application is presented to the user. Basically the user does not inherently have a way to access the server's drives as an Explorer session. Now that I've said as much, it makes me wonder that if I publish Explorer as a remote app, whether drag and drop will work between Explorer and the document manager (both remote apps on same server). I'll report back my findings after testing.
