Embed a part of a block

Hi ! I’m new to Obsidian an so to this forum.

What I’m trying to do

I would like to Embed only a part of block. For example, I have this block from a poem in my first note :

Enfant ! si j'étais roi, je donnerais l'empire,
Et mon char, et mon sceptre, et mon peuple à genoux,
Et ma couronne d'or, et mes bains de porphyre,
Et mes flottes à qui la mer ne peut suffire,
Pour un regard de vous !

And I would like to embed only the first line in a second note.

Enfant ! si j'étais roi, je donnerais l'empire,

But …

The problem is that, as I understood from Obsidian documentation, a block is the smallest unit that we can manipulate (an so embed). Here my block is the whole paragraph.
And when I embed it with

[[Note titile^block_id]]

It embeds the whole block.

An obvious solution would be to split the paragraph into two block by just adding a line break after and before the line I want to embed, but it’s a poem… and I would like to keep the original formatting.

Things I have tried

I’ve tried to use this syntax, by adding the block id inside the whole paragraph :

Enfant ! si j'étais roi, je donnerais l'empire, ^quote
Et mon char, et mon sceptre, et mon peuple à genoux,
Et ma couronne d'or, et mes bains de porphyre,
Et mes flottes à qui la mer ne peut suffire,
Pour un regard de vous !

But it doesn’t work, probably because ^block_id should be at the end of the block.

Have you any idea to achieve this ? another way to try ? a plugin ?
Is there a way to create a block but without inserting a line break (so without changing formatting) ?

Thanks,

Touikss
