This would be a significant improvement; wouldn't run the action directly but offer it in a context menu though.

Naturally a context menu of course; for me it's like the obvious to do (so it doesn't even cross my mind to do it directly) But yes, being explicit reduces the risk of miscommunication.
@Caolan Remembering vaguely something about the tabbed bar being somewhat 'unconventional' constructed from dialog perspective. So is it even possible to have a right click context menu in it?
@Jim A small poke: It would really nice to have this from usability perspective :-)
Created attachment 169100 [details] style item popup menu demo Finally got to this one :) Is this correct?
I'm already happy :-)

Another notch in bringing the NB to parity with TB. But it would now only be opening the style edit dialog. Are we able to also provide the "Update to match selection", as found on the Standard TB listbox "style|update" context menu?

No, that should do it. I don't think we'd need/want reveal triangle cluttering up the UI. Just the pop-open menu as for normal menu context menus, right?
Jim Raykowski committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/f16ab02c98b8d3483f6b6a7f8f10a4e41b545464 tdf#137121 add popup menu to style items used in styles preview window It will be available in 7.2.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
I am not able to verify in 7.2.2 on Ubuntu 18.04. Instead, right-clicking the first row of styles does not open a context menu, and right-clicking the following rows of headings result in what would happen if you right-clicked somewhere in the document. Has the fix been tested on Linux at all? Or is this a regression for all platforms?

Still works using x11 backend but no longer works using gtk3. Something seems to have changed with the control used to display the styles preview.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/110408 changed the control used for styles preview.
added meta bug as it didn't have any. Verified as fixed in: Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5b2848413883565c48d312c96daf8fbca25405d8 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: x11 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2021-10-11_23:38:53 Calc: threaded ... but opening another bug for the issue in GTK3.
