What I meant by that use-case:

1. Select some text
2. Ctrl + K
3. Click Target button, select a target, click Apply
4. Select another piece of text in the document
5. Click another target (or keep the same) in the Target dialog, click Apply
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 as many times as needed.

I can imagine users going through a document to hyperlink many different bits
of text to various targets. Keeping the dialog open is important for that.

I don't think Andreas was against the proposal of adding a OK button in bug
90679 comment 5, but rather against removing the existing Apply and Close
buttons.
Any issue for an extra "OK" button, to apply + close at once, just like in many
other dialogs? Everyone would be happy: nothing taken away, but an option to
save one click, and consistency with other dialogs.
