I'm currently finishing my work on the Polls For #ActivityPub plugin.

I decided to use a custom post type for each poll. However, many people mentioned that they would like to also add polls to normal posts.

My first question is: what is the best workflow/UI for the block-editor when adding a new poll block to a normal post?

I started with an empty state: "Create new Poll, Embed existing poll". Here I was wondering, whether I should directly enforce the user to create a poll which is stored as a draft when choosing "Create new poll", or keeping all data local to the post until the post is saved/published.

And should I allow the user to edit an embedded poll inline? Or should I just link to the edit link of the poll directly, once it's created? And how many warnings about such relationships do users expect? When deleting a poll that might be embedded. Isn't it similar to media? What are your wishes?!

Usability: allow embedding of one poll-block within normal post
