There's currently a bug in this PR when you click For instance, now, when clicking "enter", we try to split the block into two, the first block remained externally sourced but it gets a "content" attribute filled as well (bug you can see in the code editor mode) while the second paragraph is not externally sourced. Something similar happens when pasting (you might also see two externally sourced blocks one at the beginning and one at the end) I guess we need to figure out how to address this, it feels like the ideal solution would be to not allow splitting and for pasting I'm not sure what the expected behavior should be (maybe paste as text within the block). cc @ellatrix @mtias |

There's a few layers to this. Eventually, I think the attribute source plus the block's interface should be dictating the "type" for a field, meaning that if we have a coupling of "content" attribute being handled by a |

This PR explores the possibility to allow users and extenders to flag that some block attributes come from external sources. This POC focuses on implementing the "custom fields" external source while providing a very basic API to define alternative external sources for block attributes.
For instance: this allows paragraph block to have their content sourced from a post meta.
This project have been renamed "block bindings" and you can read more details about it in #53300
