Feature Request: Toggle to make Audio Blocks "Optional" for Continue Buttons

I’m currently designing a mandatory compliance course where we need to ensure learners interact with specific page elements (like Sorted Lists or Accordions) before they can move forward. Naturally, we use the Continue Block set to "Complete All Blocks Above."

However, we 'd like to add Audio Blocks for accessibility. The issue is that the Continue Block treats these audio files as mandatory. This forces every learner to play the audio just to unlock the "Continue" button, even if they’ve already read the text on the screen.

I am aware that I can move the Continue Block around or change it to "Complete Block Directly Above" to isolate the audio, but this isn't an ideal solution for us. It requires breaking the content into artificial "chunks" and adding multiple buttons, which disrupts the natural scrolling flow of a Rise lesson and clutters the UI.

My Request: Could we get an option within the Audio Block settings to "Exclude from Completion"? This would allow us to keep the "Complete All Blocks Above" setting on our Continue Buttons for the mandatory interactions, while letting the audio remain a truly optional accessibility feature.

PS: Suggesting that learners use screen readers isn't a feasible solution for us. In many corporate environments, learners cannot install third-party software, and built-in tools can be inconsistent across different browsers and security settings. We want to provide high-quality, native audio within the course that remains optional.
