Comment (by Bernhard Reiter):

 Replying to [comment:1 Bernhard Reiter]:

 endpoint (e.g. `block-hooks` or `hooked-blocks`) that receives pretty much
 the same information as the `hooked_block_types` filter.

 block and in the position given by the eponymous query arg.

 Per https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/57754, `wp_navigation`
 post objects can also be context. So we need to add something like

 > {{{
 > /hooked-blocks/core/page-list?position=after&navigation=4
 > }}}

 to the list.

 Pragmatically, we'd probably like to get a list of all anchor blocks that
 have hooked blocks when used in a given context, so we might want to
 support a syntax like

 {{{
 /hooked-blocks/?position=after&part=header
 /hooked-blocks/?position=last-child&pattern=tt3/hidden-comments
 }}}

 > (Some creative license taken here to allow for clients to have a
 pragmatic way of specifying context, see the `part` or `pattern` query
 args.)

 This is probably the trickiest part to figure out: How do we best allow
 clients to specify the `$context` as freely as possible?
