I was thinking more about the dropdown type selector with universal ADD button, and counting clicks, and I'm starting to like the idea.
We want to dynamically set/remember the default type:
- from last focused input, when you focus sidebar
- or from last type added via sidebar
- whichever occured last.
With that, for many scenarios, it'll take just a single click for adding selected address(es), just like now, but much more flexible and now works for all types. Only if you insist on changing the type *via sidebar*, it'll one extra click to select the new type (first add per type only); for more subsequent adds of the same type, back to single click again.

On the downside, we'd lose those practical access keys for the Add to ... buttons :-/
