Comment (by Bernhard Reiter):

 I think this functionality should become available once we fix #59574 and
 #60756, which we’re tentatively planning for WP 6.6.

 The ''tl;dr'' is that the toggle would infer its presence, its activation
 status, and the desired insertion position from the
 `metadata.ignoredHookedBlocks` attribute on the anchor block. If the
 hooked block is present in that array, the toggle will be present too; the
 toggle’s activation status is then simply determined by the presence or
 absence of the hooked block in the specified location.

 This means that it’s possible to have the toggle displayed and set to
 disabled by injecting the `ignoredHookedBlocks` attribute into the markup,
 but not the hooked block itself. We probably don’t currently have an API
 surface for that (so it’d need to be done manually) but might add
 something.

 Note that the technical feasibility doesn't imply that we've decided that
 Core ''should'' support this; I know @joen had some thoughts on the
 related User Experience.
