Remembering the command that created the *xref* buffer
will allow such customization to treat RET differently,
i.e. it makes sense for RET to quit the transient xref buffer
displayed momentarily while navigating code with xref-find-definitions,
whereas leaving the xref buffer visible while navigating matches
in the xref buffer created by e.g. project-find-regexp:

(define-key xref--button-map [(control ?m)]
  (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    (if (memq xref--original-command '(xref-find-definitions))
        (call-interactively 'xref-quit-and-goto-xref)
      (call-interactively 'xref-goto-xref))))

Better ideas?
