I have no experience with the DragFeature control, but I have created
a solution for feature selection that works with multiple layers
recently [1]. An example is also avaialable [2].

You may want to check this out, and I'd be interested to see your
approach. Also, it would be cool to see if my approach also works with
the DragFeature control.

Regards,
Andreas.
