An overview of the "Block hooks"

Discussed in #162

The feature for "Auto-inserting blocks" is coming in WordPress 6.4. The name might still be TBD, but the approach for this article will be an overview of the feature with 2-3 examples of how it can be used.

This feature has major implications for extenders and the article, coupled with technical documentation, will help educate the community. Ideally, this should be published right after Beta 1 (9/26)

Edit: This feature is now called Block hooks.

This post is going to be put on hold until the 6.5 release cycle. The current implementation of Block Hooks has a number of limitations that will be addressed following the release of 6.4. Therefore, it makes the most sense to wait until the feature receives additional development to spotlight on the Developer Blog.
