Enter any song name in the Find Titles option of the Style Picker, then double-click on any of the items listed. Do you get a _CRYSTAL.STY popup message in the lower right corner of the screen? It does this for me in the 2025 version also.

From further testing I do know it's been around for two major releases so far.
