The "Appply Paragraph Style" is stateful, set by clicking the 'pouring bucket'
icon in the button bar at the top of the "Styles and Formatting" content panel
in the Sidebar deck.

It will apply the selected style to each paragraph you click on when the mode
is active. Or it will apply to any selected paragraphs--including a select all.

Or as you note, with the Style to be applied selected--a "double click" on the
style name in the list in the "Styles and Formatting" content panel will apply
style to the paragraph. But so will positioning the cursor anywhere in the
paragraph, and selecting the style from the Drop list in the "Formatting"
Toolbar. Likewise it will apply to any selected paragraphs.

If you make direct formatting changes to a styled paragraph and want that
direct formatting to apply to all paragraphs of that style--use the "Update
Style" button from the "New style..." split button on the button bar at the top
of the "Styles and Formatting" content panel in the Sidebar deck.

So in point of fact everything you asked for is already provided.  Clicking in
the Sidebar deck, or selecting from the Toolbar dropdown.

Sorry, nothing difficult--Illogical or Time consuming--about it.
