How to view text names of constraints in ribbon, while docked at top of window

I would like to see the names of the constraints, and not just icons, in the "Constrain" panel of the "Part | Sketch" tab. I am not familiar with the icons, and find myself wasting much time hovering over each icon to find what I need. When I have the ribbon docked to the left or right of the window, and I have the constraints panel un-docked from the ribbon, it has the desired appearance:

This is the exact appearance of the Constrain panel that I want to remain, however when I dock the ribbon back to the top of the window, the un-docked Constrain panel switches back to the unlabeled appearance:

As you can see, I have plenty of real estate on my top-docked ribbon, so I cannot understand why there is not a way to show the labels and utilize more of the space. I am aware that I could manually add all of the constraints to a "User Commands" panel, but this seems wildly inefficient. I found a similar forum topic with no solution provided from a decade ago, and I'm hoping that this functionality may have been updated since then. I am running Inventor Pro 2025, Build 162.

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to achieve this appearance without a workaround solution?
