Quick block embed backlinks- edit how much of the context/text is embedded

Use case or problem

Im trying to edit further what text will be shown when I (block) embed a note. I use ![[Another Note]], ![[Another Note#Some Section]], ![[note^ section]]. But the block identifier from Obsidian can show not enough text.

I’m a social science student and like to have long notes, for example one for whole class. I use a lot of interlinking. When I write a note about a person, I would love to insert/embed quickly my backlinks. Not just the name of the note, but edit specifically the part of the note that is to be shown.

Proposed solution

On the side menu, I can see my linked mentions and can expand to see more context. My dream would be that I could drag and embed exactly the text, with the amount of context that I chose.

And also [[note#^text|resize]]
→ similair to how you resize embedded images

or
[[note#^text|end of embed text]]
→ maybe the last words of the embed text?
