Yes please, this would be very important
A related way of performing it would be to highlight a selection, and the various format-combinations are listed for selection just like in MSWord "Formatting in Use"
you could definite the characteristics of interest eg tick "Fill Colour, Border Color" and when you make a selection you get eg "Orange Fill Red Border", then "Orange Fill Blue Line" etc according to the different combinations in the selection
These can then be right-clicked to select and work upon
