Yes. You need to provide one of the supported target types for dropping
into Thunar.

By poking a bit around in the source code, the supported types are:

    text/uri-list
    XdndDirectSave0
    _NETSCAPE_URL

Thunar, of course, only provides drags in the format:

    text/uri-list

If you make your app support text/uri-list, everything should just work
