Description

Hi, the new dropdown which appears on clicking Trigger button has dramatically decreased user experience. I understand, many people need the ability to trigger with same parameters, but it should not cost for others. We trigger same DAG 8 times and select then a country parameter in popup, now i must do the additional mouse move and click to choose "Trigger" in new popup.

I have found the feature request https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/69820

Use case/motivation

I would like you to create instead of popup one of the options: a) another button "Trigger again with this config" left to the existing button "Trigger". Left because everyone has used to normal "Trigger" is the most right button, breaking it will be very bad. b) transform "Trigger" button to the same style as you can see now in github top the "Chat with copilot" button. So click on the left "main" part of the button call action by default (=normal trigger), and click on right "select" part with triangle shows popup with the option " trigger with same parameters"
