On that note, I think that allowing for inline special blocks would make
that more readable. It would work wonderfully with
org-special-block-extras [1], where the user could define complex blocks
with formatting configuration and what-not, and just use that as an
inline block.

Although I do agree that this sort of solves the same problem as the
other approach, but I, personally, find that defining new special blocks
is not only easier to reuse, but more readable as well. But I'm thinking
in terms of org-special-block-extras here, so take my 2 cents with a
grain of salt.
