I've never really looked into the inner workings of a block. The only thing you should ever need to know about a block is that it can be coerced to a RenderCommand. I'm sure it holds a reference to the static content etc in your template but this is considered as private implementation and is 'off limits' > I'm attaching a screenshot of the Inspect window. Attachments don't work in this forum.
