Outbound link analysis not working with reusable block

Please give us a description of what happened.

Hi, originally reported on https://wordpress.org/support/topic/output-link-placed-in-a-reusable-block/ it seems the issue was never followed up with a bug report. Or at least I have not found it... In short: page analyses outbound link reports non found when outbound links are added with a reusable block.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

I expected outbound links to become aware of the outbound links present in a reusable block, but it insists on there being no outbound links on the page.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. Add a paragraph or list with outbound links, then convert it to a reusable block
2. Save post and check the SEO analysis

I am missing this feature too. Since I use a lot of reusable blocks voor internal linking.
