No, it could not, because "Inherit from [SomeParent]" is an imperative-form
sentence describing a feature of the style being edited, while "Next Style
[SomeStyle]" is a merely a noun-phrase, whose completion into an imperative
sentence, or perhaps an adjective-phrase, regarding the style being edited
requires a complex transformation.

1. Help/documentation, in general, should never be considered a solution for a
usability problem. It is always a fallback if the actual solution is faulty or
imperfect; never something to send the user to consult by default.

2. Indeed, these are not beginner option. So, let me rephrase: These options
are not clear to the user who is beginning to explore this part of the dialog.
That is not the absolute-beginner user, it's the user who wants to get into
more complex management of styles. That is the key user for the UI to target.

Why? Do you believe some of the other labels are unclear?
