Gutenberg: BAPI for inspector / advanced settings
I think it could maybe be an optional inspector() function in registerBlock that leverages Fill behind the scenes. I think we should not be prescriptive about what you can render in the sidebar, but provide basic form components eventually.
Examples for this use case:
- Advanced embed settings (youtube settings, tweet settings, etc).
- Query-like controls for blocks like "latest-posts".

To get post settings back, just click anywhere to deselect a block. Or you can click the "Post" breadcrumb in the sidebar. Clicking the breadcrumb would also deselect any selected blocks.
