Synced Blocks

Is there any existing work or thoughts around supporting synced blocks (an example of this is Notion Synced Blocks) in MDX?

Welcome @erichosick! 👋

Is there any existing work or thoughts around supporting synced blocks (an example of this is Notion Synced Blocks) in MDX?

No, and I'm not sure how it would fit.
MDX is a language, not a content management system (CMS), nor a collection of React components.
Synced blocks are a React component, not a syntax/language feature, and synced blocks primarily are CMS backed/focused.

You could create a synced block React component, connect that with your CMS of choice, and pass that into MDX today.

Independently of the concept of synced, MDX also supports importing an MDX file into another.
So it is also possible to create shared snippets that way.

Thank you very much for your thoughts and ideas. Embedding MDX in MDX feels like the best approach to this.
