Unfortunately you can not make it act precisely like that in Emacs. However you can press for example Tab to do the switching. This is a bit more convenient then pressing RET. You can also press n for "new frame" or w for "other window". But there is a hugh amount of ways to do buffer switching. I looked once at Icicle for that, but really have not had the chance to try it out yet.
