The four things you listed (IIRC) don't need a dialog to be useful. None
of the four required input. One was "goto ref" and three were effectively
a set of radio buttons. You can only select one of the three entries in
a menu at a time. Ergo, we have the radio button behaviour in a c-s menu.
Unless of course one of the group of three has extra parameters we want to
make available but that should only be handled in the big "Insert
ref" dialog. If I understand whats going on.

I was thinking more along the lines of what implementation details you
might provide. I think we agree RMB is the way to go here.
