Using transient would work here but currently enabling such navigation
using (setq transient-enable-popup-navigation t) affects all transients.
A prefix slot that controls this behavior could be added of course.

Also the transient buffer's content is recreated after each command
(which isn't noticeable when using magit's transients but here it might)
and navigation also has some limitations.

So all in all I would stick with what you have implemented already.
