You can already do this using the tree view in the side pane (at least in nautilus 2.0.0). All it needs is just opening a folder item in the tree when the mouse drags data over it.
Another way in the BeOS one : "copy to", "move to" and "link to " items in the context menu, where you can browse in a tree view (see gnome-1.4 filemenu applet...) to select the target location. A lot quicker than spring loaded folders... The nicer feature in BeOS in my sense.
