I disagree.  I am looking to do the same thing at the moment.  My
interface has LDAP search results with up to 3 phone numbers per entry. 
I want to be able to click on a button to dial either of the numbers
(e.g. internal/external/mobile).  Clicking on a row then clicking
another button a too many clicks IMO.

This takes up more space on the dialog that could be used to display the
search results I mean to present the user with.
