Wrap two or more blocks in a single link

Hi @syoung68,
Using a custom rest field is the right way in this case, here is the full working code.

add_action(
	'init',
	function () {
		register_meta(
			'post',
			'first_name',
			array(
				'show_in_rest' => true,
				'type'         => 'string',
				'default'      => 'First',
				'single'       => true,
			)
		);

		register_meta(
			'post',
			'last_name',
			array(
				'show_in_rest' => true,
				'type'         => 'string',
				'default'      => 'Last',
				'single'       => true,
			)
		);
	}
);

function yourprefix_get_full_name( $post_id ) {
	 return sprintf( '<a href="%1$s">%2$s %3$s</a>', '#', get_post_meta( $post_id, 'first_name', true ), get_post_meta( $post_id, 'last_name', true ) );
}

add_action(
	'rest_api_init',
	function () {
			register_rest_field(
				'post',
				'full_name',
				array(
					'get_callback' => function ( $post_array ) {
						// NOTE: The parameter is an array and ID is in lower case.
						return yourprefix_get_full_name( $post_array['id'] );
					},
					'schema'       => array(
						'type' => 'string',
					),
				)
			);
	}
);

add_filter(
	'meta_field_block_get_block_content',
	function ( $content, $attributes, $block, $post_id ) {
		$field_name = $attributes['fieldName'] ?? '';

		if ( 'full_name' === $field_name ) {
			return yourprefix_get_full_name( $post_id );
		}

		return $content;
	},
	10,
	4
);

After putting that snippet into the right place, in the editor set the field type to ‘custom field’ and the field name is ‘full_name’.
This is my favorite way to use the MFB block. It’s not the same as your requirements but hopes you will get the idea. You can adjust it a bit to fit it in your case.

Thank you. I wound up just registering a Full Name as well as First and Last. It is a little redundant, but it give me the most flexibility in the end. THat way I can have “Dr. John K. Smith III” as full name and “John” as first and “Smith” as last. I really only use first and last for sorting purposes.

As always you are super helpful. Thanks again.

You’re welcome.
