An error occurred while saving the comment I didn't even notice that it wasn't possible to change the units from the panel, but I think it could be useful. Either allow us to manually type in the new unit or right-click somewhere within the panel similar to how we're able to right-click the ruler to change units.

An error occurred while saving the comment How is this still not an option? I ended up just recording the steps as an Action and assigning a shortcut key. "Layer > Locate Object" (since the object has to be highlighted in the Layers Panel in order to duplicate it) followed by "Layer > Duplicate Selection. " The downside is that you can only duplicate one object at a time (i.e., not multiple paths, a group, etc.).
Also, why are shortcuts for Actions limited to function keys?
I think broadening the functionality of these tools so that they're applicable to a wider audience could help with getting your request implemented. The following is based on my understanding of your descriptions. I see that Egor has addressed some of this already, so sorry for any repeats.
Organic Blob: this sounds similar to metaball shapes (for which there's already a Script available at illustratorscripts(dot)com). It could be used to make lava lamps, *****, and probably a lot of other things.
Cilia Brush: maybe broaden this and describe it as a fringe tool. That way it could be used in scientific illustrations as well as fashion or home decor. For now, a similar effect could probably be accomplished by adding a gapped stroke to the shape as in the attached image.
Label Connector: this sounds like you want something similar to connectors in Office products like Word or PowerPoint. Is this not already available via snapping to anchor points?
Cell Texture Fill, Microscope View: could possibly be done using pattern fills and/or graphic styles that you can save and reuse.
You may also be able to create some of these graphics and save them as Symbols for reuse.
