Hi,

you would have to write your own functions for the blocker hook and  
install it instead of the default one.  If would not be so hard -  
basically call the default blocker hook function and then test  
yourself if the entry is scheduled, and combine the result.

However, I would just use a normal agenda, where you set org-agenda- 
dim-blocked-tasks to nil in the option section.
