I'll try, but I also spent an hour on the phone with an incredibly helpful and friendly Air Canada agent who couldn't do it, so I don't give it good odds. She didn't have a good explanation for why they're willing to sell me a YVR > YYZ > DXB > ISB itinerary but can't sell a YVR > DXB > ISB itinerary - it's just the way it is, for some reason

Two better ways of referring to the issue the OP raises might either be:
  1. Why won't AC sell me a direct connecting flight when one is available?
  2. Why won't AC sell me a one-stop flight when one is available?
Yeah I couldn't quite figure out how to express the idea in a thread title without getting too wordy. Your suggestions definitely would have worked though
