Improve parent/child selection behavior in the Quote block #28522

@jasmussen

Description

@jasmussen

The Quote block is about to receive nesting support (#25892). This benefits transformations, and solves basic issues like being able to have images inside a quote.

The nesting change also makes it slightly harder to select the parent block. This ticket suggests that we build a system that allows the quote block to always show its "select parent" button, even when an inner-block is selected. GIF showing how this could work:

This behavior could benefit blocks where the parent and immediate child are highly tied together, such as Quote, Navigation, Social Links, perhaps even Gallery.
