Description
This is a pretty simple idea: There should be a "Screenshot these blocks" option in the right-click (context) menu. When you click it, it'll generate an image of the blocks (with a transparent background) and download it. It would be very handy for making tutorials and resources, so you don't need to take a manual screenshot (ala shift+command+4, Print Screen) and then remove the background with some paint tool.
This post inspired the idea. Back in 1.4, something like this feature existed; it would take a screenshot of all the blocks and scripts in the sprite. That would be pretty handy, too.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing right-click context-menu and block-rendering entry points, then determine how a transparent image could be downloaded. Done means the menu action produces a transparent image of the selected blocks; whether it should also support all blocks and scripts needs clarification.
