There where couple of commits in this direction on gerrit recently (merged).
Unsure if it's feature complete. Accessibility only from
Menu Table -> AutoFormat Styles -> Click Edit Style

prerequisite: cursor in table

Hmm, I think I have to rethink this. In the sense that some logic would apply
to the Paragraph/ Character properties. So probably wrong direction anyhow.

So the bugs is by title already invalid.   

Some preliminary remarks
* Regarding sidebar: the table style implementation sidebar in Writer is rather
bad. Hidden and lacking a preview. I hope it will be implemented like the one
in Impress

* AutoFormat Styles Menu item: It does with current implementation two things.
It's a styles manager and a dialog to apply/change the style of an existing
table. Which results in the oddity being unable to access the 'Styles Manager"
without the cursor in a table. And the selected style being applied to the
table. So you can't independently access styles dialog even if you only want to
create couple of template table styles in advance
