New description:

 Currently, it is only possible to specify a block name for automatic
 insertion via Block Hooks; this means the block will be inserted in its
 "default" state (i.e. with no way of specifying custom attributes or inner
 blocks). This is true for both registering a hooked block via the
 `blockHooks` field `block.json`, or via the `hooked_block_types` filter
 (introduced in [56673]).

 We might want to allow providing a full, parsed-block style, block
 definition, at least for the filter:

 {{{#!php
 array( 'mycommerce/mini-cart', array(
         'isPreview'    => true,
         'miniCartIcon' => 'bag',
     ) )
 }}}



 Props @ndiego for pointing out this shortcoming to me.
