I did finally locate an application that provides the solution you are looking for. The application isn't hands-free initially as it is a command line program.
setWeblocThumb generates custom icon consisting of a preview of the web page that the webloc file points to. It does not do this universally. You'll need to
- point it at folders that you'd like it to watch
- Assign a folder action to the folder that you'd like setWeblocThumb to watch and have it run setWeblocThumb.
It's fairly straightforward, but is a bit more than simply downloading and installing an application. The good news is that it's free.
Byword seems to do that by default:
It's not really drag and drop, but you could also assign a shortcut to a script like this:
tell application "Safari" to tell document 1
set the clipboard to "[" & name & "](" & URL & ")"
end tell
