Feature request: make shadowing options available immediately upon selecting an object

Currently, as of Inkscape 1.3, when an object is drawn and selected only few very limited options pop up for it, mostly related to opacity. However, there's no graphical representation to quickly and easily add a shadow:

currently_when_object_selected

While I know that shadows can be added via the menu in Filters > Shadows and Glows, it would still be helpful for completely new users to also have basic shadow settings available right upon object creation/selection, somewhat similar to how it's done in the LibreOffice Draw application:

make_basic_shadow_settings_on_object_selection.

Thank you for considering this feature request!
