I have also been thinking about and fighting with these sorts of problems. I
don't know off hand, but I suspect that what you want to do (both toggling
attributes and making attributes of character styles relative to the paragraph
style) probably isn't possible within the ODF standard.

If you look at bug 108498, for example, we determined that percentage font
sizes in a character style are based on the parent character style. There is no
way to have a percentage font size relative to the surrounding paragraph style
in ODF.

If this is true in the current case, then I doubt these features would be
considered by the developers regardless of UX concerns.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think an extension will help. The (1st)
issue is not really about the simple act of toggling a particular property in
the interface (say, with an extra toolbar button), but changing how styles work
to support toggling of arbitrary properties. This sounds like a very ambitious
undertaking, and files created with such an extension wouldn't open properly
for anyone without the extension.
