I would like to define smarty block names according to smarty data, but I can't seem to do it.
Example:
{foreach $array as $code}
{block name=block_$code}
<div id='{$code}'></div>
{/block}
{/foreach}
My purpose is to extend a specific block_$code block by a child template. Is this possible or is there some other trick I could use to do this?
Thanks.
I was able to find the following link from 2011 indicating that this wasn't possible at that time. I suspect it still isn't:

The good news it that I was able to figure out how to make my code work without it. I wanted to be able to override just one of the divs defined by the foreach. Here's how I can do it:
Parent:
{foreach $array as $code}
{block name=code_loop}
<div>Normal Stuff</div>
{/block}
{/foreach}
Child:
{block name=code_loop}
{if $code == 'code of interest'}
<div>New Stuff</div>
{else}
{$smarty.block.parent}
{/if}
{/block}
