Block Bindings
The pdfUrl attribute supports WordPress block bindings (requires WordPress 6.9+). This allows the PDF URL to be sourced dynamically from post meta rather than stored directly in the block.
Example binding declaration in a block template:
<!-- wp:ph/flipbook-block {"metadata":{"bindings":{"pdfUrl":{"source":"core/post-meta","args":{"key":"your_meta_key"}}}}} /-->The Flipbook Catalog plugin uses this feature to create a configurable PDF catalog content type with a pre-wired block template.
