Because the dialog will do more than just "go to the ref"

The magic code preventing this at the moment is in workAreaButtonRelease
(line 767) :
if (button >= 2) return;
// go on to call inset->Edit();
I've just finished playing with InsetRef, the Edit() of which is:
void InsetRef::Edit(BufferView * bv, int, int, unsigned int button)
{
// Eventually trigger dialog with button 3 not 1
if( button == 3 )
bv->owner()->getLyXFunc()->
Dispatch(LFUN_REFGOTO, getContents().c_str());
else if( button == 1 )
bv->owner()->getDialogs()->showRef( this );
}
So, at the moment we get the pop-up (new --- try it!) on mouse-button 1, but
eventually we'll get the old behaviour of "go to ref on click 1" and get
"launch this new dialog on click 3"
Anyway. Patch attached. Please apply!
