Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing blocks display, coding-mode snippets, and documentation experience, then define what a visual API representation should show alongside code and how its completion can be verified.

Description

enhancement

One thing that seems to aid transition from blocks to coding is the ability to explore the API in the same way the blocks display it.

Could we have some visual API representation similar in some ways to the blocks display format so that kids can explore the API alongside coding when not in blocks mode. Perhaps something like 'snippets on steroids' or 'docs with fewer words'
