Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Note- marked as N/A above, since i'm not familiar enough with orgmode to know if its in core or a library. The docs link says contrib, but it seems builtin (ie. don't need to install another package in emacs to use).

Feature value

Very high. I think this is one of orgmodes killer features for writing "smart notes" (literate programming).

I think a combo of sniprun/treesitter should be able to do this, and i'm playing around a little with it. The treesitter org parser doesn't handle (block parameters) just lumps them as one value. Also using header-args as a property at the top of the document doesn't work.

I'm not sure how to run sniprun in a way where we can setup the environment based on org properties for the run. (for example per file settings, or per block settings)

Org Babel also allows for including other files with helper functions in different languages, and named blocks.

Its very cool. Here is a video that demonstrates its power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g9BcZvQbXU&ab_channel=spudlyo

Again, thank you for this amazing plugin. I know most of the features have been focused on GTD, this opens up a can of goodness, but it isn't directly in the GTD world of org.

Additional context

No response

Start by reviewing the existing org parser and the treesitter handling for block parameters and top-level header-args. Then investigate how sniprun could receive per-file and per-block Org properties, including named blocks and helper-file inclusion. Done would require a defined, tested subset of Org Babel behavior supported by the plugin.
