Just save the offset to the center and add it every time you reposition the object due to dragging

Ok, but how can i do this? i have this to move the object around

 selectedObject.gameObject.transform.position = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, distance_to_screen));

i can get the Offset with hit.point - hit.collider.gameObject.transform.positon right?

but how can i put this offset into the movement?

Save it on mouse down, add it in in mouse move. Right now this is a one liner. You'd need a step in between to calculate what you correctly assumed.
