Dynamic Action to replace block inside the block? Can it be done?

Hey all, I'm new to AUTOCAD and loving Dynamic Blocks. Crazy question, Can you use the lookup table or another action to somehow replace a block inside the main block. For example, replacing parts of a outlet box to Edison, Twist-Lock, Stage Pin, 220v, Etc. This way I don't have to insert and updated five different outlet box symbols, but just one a drop down menu. Ideally, I don't want to insert and overtime update a ton different blocks with slightly different hardware.

 

Is there a way I can have my cake and eat it to?

With a VISIBILITY PARAMETER SET, you can create several VISIBILITY STATES for each nested block or element.

Please see if the attached example is what you're looking for.

There's a blue grip/dropdown on the faceplate's upper right corner.
