It seems (based on this case) that you could make that happen by simply throwing in a patent claim, even if you'd get defeated on that point (which happened to Oracle). Not sure if that's a general rule one could exploit, or something that just happened in this case?

This actually gets exploited all the time to get into the Federal Circuit's "arising under" jurisdiction :)
