Finally, I have made public on GitLab my experimental branch for the new
(possible) inline-special-block element:

I find the feature name confusing, however I am unsure if others share my opinion.

In Org syntax, "elements" are paragraphs and larger parts, while parts within paragraphs are named objects. I admit that for org-element everything is element.

In CSS "display: inline block" makes an HTML element a rectangular block inside a paragraph while new feature is mostly intended for normal text flow. I admit that &parbox[...]{...} may be used to create an instance similar to inline block and that "inline source blocks" are already described in the manual.

Does anybody have an idea of a better name for a feature? Maybe something like inline custom objects, snippets. "Objects" are used to describe syntax, but not used in the manual though.
