Well, not exactly. I think you are missing something quant.
A second data explorer would be a good feature also and I think it can cohabit with the Link/Move dialog. Let me explain:
1. UR has a feature "Option to prompt for import location when importing from another application" that uses the Link/Move dialog. This is at least one use of the dialog that a second data explorer couldn't imitate.
2. There might be more that one circumstances where the user wouldn't want to clutter UR layout with another instance of the explorer.
3. The Link/Move dialog has an idiosyncrasy of its own (to my understanding) when dealing with linking or copying stuffs.
4. Other uses I can't come up with now
