Dependent font size for Character style

Question

I think it would be very convenient for Character styles to have a font size that is relative to the underlying (Paragraph style’s) font size, by addition or subtraction (or even multiplication and division).

A Character style’s font size could be expressed as -2 pt or +2 pt, for example. If the underlying (Paragraph style’s) font size is 14 pt, the Character style’s fonts size would result in respectively 12 pt or 16 pt in the aforementioned example.

This is very convenient in for example optical adjustment of different typefaces, while keeping everything dynamic. If the Paragraph style’s font size changes, the Character style’s font size changes accordingly.

You can do something quite similar already: Instead of setting a point size for the character style, set horizontal and vertical scaling for it. So you could have a char style that is always 80% of the underlying paragraph style, for instance, etc.
