Yes, the dropbutton use was intentional.  The idea was to provide an 
button that could be extended to include additional actions.  Other 
actions could include links that pop up lightbox-style interfaces to 
manipulate an image before insertion, or choosing (in the case of a 
video container) whether to insert a thumbnail or an embedded player.

There is also good reason to keep the external link in the title.  The 
dropbutton in the media interface is used to insert or apply the media 
to the post being edited.  The external link is not such an action, and 
does not belong in this set of links.

Also, there is no other way to visit the native store of the media than 
the external link.  Consider the Flickr browser.  The only way to visit 
the Flickr photo page for an image is to click that link icon.  This is 
similar to other services that we offer connection to.

These reasons define the external link as something separate from the 
dropbutton actions, yet necessary to the adequate functioning of the 
media interface.
