There are already two different modes: the first is
defined by the user option xref-show-definitions-function
(by default, xref--show-defs-buffer), the second is defined by
xref-show-xrefs-function (by default, xref--show-xref-buffer).

It's fine to use TAB to bury the output buffer in the first case,
but not in the second case.
