The issue with doing this when there are several sitelinks is that
people will unknowingly merge items this way that should not be
merged. That'd be a huge pita. We'll need to put some good thinking

Showing the dialog and requiring people to click would probably annoy
people for having to click one additional time? Especially if their
intention is clear.
