Description
Previously on 1.47 it was possible to export selected models as .obj files through a hidden console.
It would be nice if this feature were maintained and expanded to allow the export of models while in play mode. For example, models that use many hidden action blocks to merge components together may be exported in the merged state with all hidden blocks omitted from the export.
I enjoy using Blocksworld to map out vehicle designs and this feature would be greatly appreciated by myself and the building community.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing hidden-console path for exporting selected models as .obj files, then investigate how play-mode models and merged components are represented. Done means selected models can be exported while playing, with hidden action blocks omitted and the merged state preserved.
