Description
Gutenberg reusable blocks are saved as their own post type (wp_block) accessible from /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block
Can this post type be added to the 'Post Object' field type?
When used in conjunction with a repeater field, this would make it very easy to implement reusable content

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Post Object field type and the wp_block post type exposed at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block; trace how available post types are selected. Done should make reusable blocks selectable in Post Object fields and usable with a repeater field.
