Wouldn't have made the cross-reference dialog modeless. You could also ask why
the paragraph/character properties are modal. "Modeless interaction" should be
done via sidebar (or toolbar/Notebookbar), which has limitations itself. Eg.
you are probably unhappy if you always have to switch from the properties deck
to the reference or special character deck. You use case is to insert
frequently used special characters and the supposed workflow is to use the
floating widget. I agree here with the modification to detach it from the
toolbar to get rid of the one click.
