Somebody else may help on that.

Personally I have switched from Org to meta-level database backed
editing of any objects with any kind of modes. I am similarly using
programming blocks (often PostgreSQL reports) and they are opened as a
single object in PostgreSQL or SQL mode. I can describe them but their
description is in a different place and separate. If I wish to include
them in a main Org (or other type) file, it is matter of a second, and
their report is included. Though I don't use files the same approach
can work well with files and Org files to include programming blocks
from other files.

Then I would make a non-exporting link in Org file that brings me to
other file to be edited, and in that other (included) file I would
make a link back to the master Org file. This way switching back and
forth is easy.
