> Dialog entries are never updated when hovering over the object, do they?

Not when hovering an object (I didn't state it does so, nor claim it should).

1) The content of the context menu is sensitive to what is beneath the current cursor position (and not to the current selection).
2) One can open 'Fill and Stroke' for an object underneath the current cursor position, or 'Text and Font' for a text under the current cursor position, or 'Object Properties' for any object without selecting the object first (click with LMB) before opening the context menu (click with RMB). Each of these actions then automatically selects the object beneath the current cursor position and displays the data of the now selected object in corresponding dialog.
3) Context menu entries which call (or reuse) the 'Object Attributes' dialog (for example for links and bitmap images) behave differently (aka inconsistent compared to other context menu entries) as in that no object selection occurs, and the 'Object Attributes' dialog either opens empty (no width/height), or keeps the data of the last selected object which was displayed in the dialog.
