Absolutely. I have proposed to have a "create style" button (to which
you could also set a keyboard shortcut) right in the texdt tab of the
Properties palette. A similar button in the Color tab could bring up the
Edit Color dialog. The idea could be extended to other dialogs, keeping
in mind that a tool is readily available when and where there are most
chances that you need it. What we want to avoid are round trips
involving too many mouse movements (hand-eye coordination when not
necessary takes down productivity).
