 Hi,

 I've noticed, unlike the Classic Editor, the Blocks Editor does not
 include a place to add trackbacks to a post. After looking more into it,
 I've found a possible reason for it could be that the
 `WP_REST_Posts_Controller` doesn't support adding trackbacks.

 I believe it's weird the Blocks Editor includes a Discussion panel saying
 `Allow pingback and trackbacks` although it's only possible to add
 trackbacks from the Classic Editor.

 I suggest the attached as a primarily step before working from the
 Gutenberg GH repo to suggest a way to deal with this feature.

 In the meantime, if some of you need to send trackbacks from the Blocks
 Editor, you can use this [https://github.com/imath/retroliens plugin].
