jump from one "edit block in-place" into another?

I doubt it, exactly like that, but something similar in slightly different sequence is possible:
If you're editing a Block or Xref with REFEDIT, pick on a menu item containing this macro:
^C^C_.refclose _save _.refedit
Then pick OK in the confirmation dialog box, and it will immediately ask you to pick another Block to edit.
OR, if you are using BEDIT instead, this takes a slightly different procedure:
^C^C_.bclose _save _.bedit
That doesn't ask for confirmation, which saves a pick, but you also need to pick the next Block to edit from a list, rather than by selecting an insertion of it, so it's not like your concept of clicking on one in the drawing.
BUT I'm confused about your assumed process. If you are getting into editing one by double-clicking, as you hope to do for the next Block you want to edit, that gets you the BEDIT command, in which all you see are the elements of the Block you're working on -- other Blocks are not visible to double-click on [except for any that are nested in the current one]. From that, I kind of assume you're talking about REFEDITing instead, where at least it's possible to see and double-click on an insertion of a different Block, but the message you get if you do is that it's BEDIT that is not allowed during reference editing, so it would seem like changing commands if it were somehow possible to do it that way. The first macro above doesn't involve any double-clicking, so it won't switch you from REFEDIT to BEDIT.
AND NOW in further experimentation I find that this:
(command "_.refclose" "_save" "_.refedit")
is like the first macro above except that it doesn't ask for confirmation in a dialog box, so you pick on a menu item containing that, and the Block you're REFEDITing is saved in its current state and you're immediately asked to pick another.
[A similar approach with BCLOSE / BEDIT has the drawback that you would have to type in the Block name, rather than having a list presented to pick from.]
