Replace - Default "Replace by..." ?

I did a quick search and was unable to find an option to control the default behavior of the replace command. Maybe a mapkey would get you what you want. Here are a few that we use:

There is a config option that controls the auto-pairing functionality. We don't have it on by default. Hence the two mapkeys. replace_unrelated_automatic yes,no*

I notice you have the "Remember These Components" option checked.

This will keep a reference to the old component (the one that was replaced).

Not sure why one would want that reference to remain, so I use this config.pro option to prevent such unwanted dependencies.

remember_replaced_components no

my guess is that PTC has this coded into the software and we cannot change this. This setting changes depending on the model you are replacing. If the model is a is part of a family table the default will not be, reference model it will be, family table.
