I thought I might have been a little harsh with the comment "completely useless", but after testing the same dialog box in versions 9.6 and 10, I stand by that assessment. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this forum allows image uploads so that I can illustrate my point. But as a for instance, I selected a word that I wanted to add a hyperlink to by pressing command-option-a. In BBEdit 9.6, a beautiful modal dialog box opens up. The first field is for Href, very logically. There are pulldowns for Recent URLs, Current Folder and Scheme, and fields for ID/Name, Title and Target. The non- modal equivalent in BBEdit 10 has one field with a pulldown for "accesskey, class, contentedible, contextmenu and dir". At the top right is a weird icon that expands the option window to show more options (if you move your window, the dialog box disappears, by the way). The expanded window has three fields for (1) id, (2) class and (3) href (why third?!), and a 4th field with no label is the original field with the pulldown options. There are no options like "recent URLs", no warning buttons to click, no targets to select. And it's all very small and precious compared to the original dialog box. This is definitely a step backward in functionality.
