Access Transparency and Merge Modes Directly from the Property Bar

Currently, to apply or adjust transparency on a selected object, we have to either switch to the Transparency Tool or keep the Properties docker open. This adds unnecessary clicks and disrupts the workflow.

I highly request that when any object or text is selected, a transparency slider and a merge mode (blend mode) dropdown be added directly to the Property Bar, right next to the "Outline Width" option. This would allow us to make quick adjustments instantly without constantly traveling back and forth to the side dockers.

Taking it a step further, it would be amazing to have an "Excel-style mini toolbar" pop up upon right-clicking an object, allowing instant access to transparency and merge modes (like Multiply) on the fly. However, knowing that software responsiveness and performance are top priorities, implementing this in the standard Property Bar first would already be a massive UX improvement.
