I am on GNOME 3.10.x, and I just dragged an icon from the overview onto
a different workspace; it opened there.

Note that this feature requires that the application follow some rules.
Some applications, specifically Java applications, do not, and will
always open on the current workspace.

Also if an application is already open, like Nautilus is open on
workspace #3, and I am on workspace #1, and I drag the nautilus icon to
workspace #2 ... it will open on workspace #1.

I do not believe this feature has been removed.
