I want a "Lock Shelf Item" feature in Workspace File Viewer.
Since a lot of things now supports drag and drop from workspace,
I keep losing files/directories placed on the shelf by dragging those
into applications.

Default action should be what it is -- remove from shelf if dragged out,
but there should be an option to lock down shelf items individually, so
you can drag a directory from shelf to Save/Open panels without waiting
for it to appear in the Icon Path (which is slooow).

This should solve your problem without cluttering Save/Open panels.

Yes! I've been wanting something like this for quite awhile (like since we  
bought our first NeXT...).

In 3.0 at least you can drop files and folders into open and save panels and  
have them jump to that location. One thing we're planning to do in MetroTools  
is allow you to drag files and folders out of our dock so you could use it like  
a shelf. It would have the added benefit (over the file viewer's shelf) of not  
having the icons disappear after they have been dragged out.

Don't forget about the Font Panel.  I'd like to see a shelf there as well to  
hold the collection of fonts I'm using in a particular doc.
