Proposal for Gutenberg blocks

[tunyk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is not uncommon for non-main content to appear in the automatic description in Google search results. This includes data from Gutenberg blocks.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add the option to add data-nosnippet for Gutenberg blocks in the editor (as a checkbox in the block settings). I mean any Gutenberg block, not just your plugin blocks

I want to use data-nosnippet on span, div, and section elements, as recommended by Google. But due to the limitations of Gutenberg blocks, it is not possible to do this custom.

Why do you think this feature is something we should consider for the Yoast SEO plugins?

Google’s recommendations are as follows: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/robots-meta-tag#data-nosnippet-attr
