Perhaps the help file didn't explain this properly?
1)If you drag a folder onto the Quay window, then to the Dock, it becomes a "Quay Icon". This looks like a folder but is in reality a special file which only Quay understands. Because it is a file, you can't drag anything onto it; but it's easy to assign a special icon to it while setting it up in Quay.
2) If you drag a folder directly from the Finder to the Dock, it's a Stack. You can drag files onto it. Like with a Quay Icon, Quay will notice if you click on it and pops up its own menu. However, if you want to set a special icon on it, you need to paste it into the Finder's "Get Info", and use the Dock's own preferences to set it to show that icon ("Display as Folder").
Now, with the opt-cmd-click menu on the Dock divider stripe, you can choose if you want Quay to always act on Dock Stacks, or never, or (in 10.5.2) only on the Stacks Marked as "List" view.
3) At any time, even if Quay is set to act on any icon, you can get the Dock's normal menus if you option-click.
I will try to explain this better in the next version... but sometimes I get the impression nobody reads help files anymore :-)
