Technical Details
The implementation will likely involve registering a new block within the WordPress editor that interfaces with the post's category taxonomy. It will interact with Yoast SEO if available to ensure seamless integration.
Additional Context
During the development process, the idea of making the category taxonomy filterable was considered as a potential improvement. Additionally, creating a block with a taxonomy attribute and using block style variations for different registered taxonomies was mentioned by a community member as a possible enhancement.
