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

Research direction

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.
