Yes, well choose another key then.
It's unfortunate that Emacs has chosen to waste a
repeatable key on a nonrepeatable command such as
`xref-find-definitions', but so it goes.

What text? Just a command name at point?
What I tried to suggest was to have a more general
feature to insert text at point into the minibuffer.
There are lots of possibilities for that.
(Some of them are available with `M-.' in Icicles.
You can see them described in the doc string Eli
so objected to being shown.)
