For Formula Editing, mouse input to modify argument to refer another Table Cell same row?

Please correct me if wrong, Feature of mouse selection of a cell is now lost for formula editing when it comes to Table reference. Instead of a simple single click (as for a non-Table cell), I now have to keyboard the structured reference to a Table Cell; IMHO this requires extra effort of knowing names (Table and Column). If there is a quicker step, I would appreciate the help.
