A quicker way to dbl-check ALL visibility states embedded in a block?

Is there a way to extract data from a dynamic block with multiple visibility states...without having to have a block on the screen that is configured for each visibility state?

 

I am trying to develop and maintain a rapidly expanding/changing library of dynamic blocks, each with between 2 and 8 visibility states buried within.  Checking that each state is named correctly at any one time is getting to be a real chore.  

 

It would be GREAT if something like the data extraction tool, etc. could list ALL of the states by just putting ONE block on the screen, as opposed to all eight.  I could put ALL my blocks on the screen and get a master report for ALL of the named visibility states in ONE SHOT.

 

Anyone have any great ideas?  Thanks very much in advance for any help!

I do not believe that functionality is present with stock dynamic blocks and data extraction.  I believe you would need some custom code for that.  You might want to post the question to one of customization forums for better insight into how feasible it would be.
