Query Loop Block: develop a content-only representation #66614

Open annezazu opened 2 days ago

Similar to https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/65699, we need to think about the experience of interacting with the Query Loop block when in Write mode/content only. As it stands right now, the experience is quite confusing as the only items you can edit or change when viewing a homepage aren't items most will need to change. For example, here's a video showing how in Write mode, the only piece you can edit is the no results message:

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e47d2715-d74c-445a-848c-9e647ce751c1

When testing this with loved ones (I can ask for permission to share some of the video), repeatedly folks would edit this text as it was the only thing offered to them to edit in much of the homepage! Similar to the navigation block, we need to find a way to open up some controls and options while also clarifying the current limitations to know when to switch into Design mode.
