I don't think the x-ref is needed. 気を利かせる and 気が利く are used differently.
None of the refs have more than one sense for this.

This could possibly be split into two senses too.

Following pattern in 睨みを利かせる and linking the parent of a causative-inflected verb (which I think is a good pattern...).

Interesting that 1221640 is split into two closely related senses.  Logically this entry should be as well, but I just picked the closer-looking sense on the other side. People can figure it out...
