Problem/Motivation
Block plugins have the plumbing to be contextual, but they don't have the UI exposed to allow for that sort of mapping.
Proposed resolution
In the course of building a firm foundation for Display Suite and Panels, this should be fixed to have a unified tool both (or any) module can use.
Remaining tasks
- Needs to be updated to current HEAD
- Make sure that everything looks OK visually
- Get a UI review
