The problem with showing the information in the styles panel is that you will not have an overview of all the named flows in the page. Also, by revealing another region from the same named flow (using the info in the styles pane), the styles pane is updated and it may be difficult to refocus on that named flow.

I think it is a good idea to extend the styles pane in the way you proposed, but we should also find a way to display the information from the drawer.
