Description

Hello, I wanted to propose an idea to expand the functionality of My blocks and add the possibility of setting (as in variables) accessibility for many sprites. This would be a useful functionality in a situation where we have My blocks with parameters and we want to call it for several characters.

Currently, we have to copy the entire block each time, which makes subsequent modifications difficult and does not make it possible to show children the correct code separation and re-use.

Research direction

Start by locating the My blocks implementation and the existing variable accessibility behavior in the editor. Clarify how accessibility for multiple sprites should work, including parameterized blocks and reuse across characters, then define acceptance criteria for the proposed behavior.
