I agree. I'm actually leaning toward the terse but totally uninformative {{refs:uid}} and let the editor have another window/tab open to get uid from searching. Disambiguating based on content inside the ref tag rapidly runs into "what if he published two papers in 2007 with the same title in different journals?" etc. Pretty soon you're back to the whole thing inside the ref tag.
On the other hand, being able to type {{refs:The Origin of Species|page=246}} has a certain appeal to it. Although you'd have to specify the edition . . . still, that kind of relatively verbose format seems like a better idea to me, overall.
