Add Blend effect for Appearance to blend adjacent attributes

We need a blend fx in this Appearance to blend between 2 layers (may be fill or stroke), no need to create and blend separate objects with just different colors for this graphic effect

    Not sure this could be done with the paradigm the panel has...
    So far it doesn’t allow any effects between attributes, these can be only applied before the styling, within an attribute, or after styling (pre, nested, post).
    I wanted to request an ability to insert effects between strokes / fills, but could never find a decent example to ask for it :) This might be it... do you have any other ideas in mind? Making a large change like would need more.

    At the meantime, there is another way to achieve the effect, via the Astute Graphics’ AG Offset effects and its Alter Color option: https://docs.astutegraphics.com/stylism/ag-offset-overview/ag-offset-panel
    This is a paid plugin, but it might be more handy than blending copies.
