For block embeds, there're at least two feature requests from the community:

1. Block embed with its breadcrumb. This has been addressed by roam research through a new macro embed-path.
2. Block embed without its children, roam doesn't have this problem, because for block references, logseq chose to only reference the block's title instead of the whole body.

Instead of introducing a new macro or more macros, how about extending the embed macro like org-mode?
For example, we can introduce two arguments: path and no-children :

1. {{embed ((block-uuid))}} is the same as the current behavior
2. {{embed ((block-uuid)) path}} will include the block's breadcrumb
3. {{embed ((block-uuid)) no-children}} will not include block's children.
4. {{embed ((block-uuid)) path no-children}} will not only show the breadcrumb path but also omit its children.

To make it easy to use, we probably need to introduce a custom menu action to help users to change those arguments.

I like this idea but that's my concern as well.

I guess it could be to an extent alleviated by having a right click convert to block embed with path function added to the menu that pops up when you right click a block reference. But this doesn't handle being able to switch between embeds.

For that perhaps we could trigger a right click menu when clicking anywhere on the embed besides the actual block?

Ideally, there could be a submenu to allow users to select their preferred embed.

That'll be nice.

@sawhney17 Hi. Closing this PR as it has been stale for awhile. We're going with a different approach for this e.g. #6734 but haven't had time to finish it. If you want to work on this, you know where to chat with us ;) Also, we'd love it if you can sign the CLA to help us convert to a new license
