My only advice at this point would be aware that people will want things (eventually) like using an image as a background/foreground for cells or a table and a myriad of other options so just be careful not to plan things too tightly bound to a certain layout - I guarantee it will need to change :)

Yea, very well aware of that. It's the hard life of UI design. How
easy things would be if they never had to change ;)

I saw that in the Text page in PP there's a solution with yet another
structure of expanding sections. Might be a solution for the
table/cell options if they grow wildly in the future.

Anyway, I switched from pen and paper to Qt Designer as sketching tool
and the result is attached. I think something like that could work as
an initial version. Perhaps Styles should be below Strokes/Fill
though, but that's details.

I was thinking each of these sections under Table/Cell could be made
as a separate widget, so that they can be reused in the SM where it
makes sense.
