Yes. It's in the build properties for the target. There's a place 
where you can list the document types your app can open, specified by 
any combination of extension, 4-char OS type, MIME type or UTI type. 
(Apple seems to be pushing UTI atm.) This list ends up in your app's 
info.plist, and that's where LaunchServices discovers it, and that's 
how the Finder knows to enable the drag and drop.
