Blocks with Custom Post filtered

Good morning,
we need to fix a problem to see Custom Post with your blocks, hope you can help us.
We have created Custom Post with standard content (title, content, image …) and custom fields for searching and filtering (they should not be displayed).
Being a post with standard content, it would be useful for us to use them with blocks to insert them into the content zone or sidebar.
Unfortunately, blocks do not have the ability to add custom filters (eg with meta_key or complex queries), so we can not use the blocks, and we have to make html and css again.
We use get_posts($ args) ( https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts ) to filter posts that interest us, and the question is:
How is it possible (if it is) to use the blocks with our filters (query)?
Consider that we are pretty experienced programmers, and we ask you to shorten your run times by finding a solution yourself, but you, knowing your code well, can help us and save us time.
That is why we thank you in advance.

Hi,

The blocks do not have the capability to filter posts by taxonomy at the moment, only by category. To control the custom post displayed you could do it only by specifying the post Id in the filter, but that may not be a solution

If you want to try and implement this you could follow these topics

Hopefully this will be available soon in the theme by default, but I could not give you an exact timeline.

Thanks
