Likely the requirement related to the easier work-flow: accessing to the
paragraph-level settings i.e. trying different hyphenation options is much more
comfortable for adjusting errors of the automatic hyphenation: you can try a
lot of combinations with a few click or short cuts, than selecting words and
text parts, which less productive, especially if the problematic word occurs
more in the document.

Interestingly, CSS 4 has got line-level rule, but Adobe InDesign has a
word-level, limiting the prevention only for the last word.

I think, it's really important to give similarly rich options for hyphenation,
than DTP software and future web browsers. My next plan to implement
hyphenation zone, which is a Word/OOXML feature. I have long term plan to give
some settings for better hyphenation for compound words, e.g. for
German/Hungarian. Maybe Better Spacing / Fewer Hyphens slider of InDesign is a
good user interface for that.

But ODF don't hyphenate character property is a nice feature, especially if we
could add a shortcut for that. In fact, if this is not for adjustment of the
paragraph text flow, but a bad or unwanted automatic hyphenation, Writer has
already supported to disable the hyphenation of a specific word, by adding an
equal mark to the plain word ("word=") in the custom hyphenation dictionary:
