I don't think this is an attainable goal. Major modes assume that they
are the sole owners of the current buffer and of the related state.
Breaking this assumption would open a deep can of major-mode-specific
problems which would each require major-mode-specific solutions.
The only solution I see would be to somehow give each code block it's
own buffer, and then trick Emacs into treating multiple buffers as a
single buffer for purposes of display and cursor movement. If someone
wanted to develop such functionality I think it would best be done
independent of Org-mode.
Best,
