Allow app-specific access window during a scheduled block

I absolutely love the phone-free morning and scheduled blocks feature. I just wish there was an option to give myself a few minute of access to a specific app during those times - e.g. allow myself 5 minutes of access to my news apps during my 2 hour phone-free morning. This would allow me to quickly check my preferred news app at any point during those two hours, but I would only be allowed 5 mins access maximum during that time. Same for scheduled blocks. This way I can check distracting sites briefly, but the app will prevent me from getting distracted for lengthy periods. Same principle for scheduled blocks too. The access window duration could apply to a single app or multiple apps.

So perhaps all morning on work days between 9am and 1pm, I have a scheduled blocks feature to prevent me from accessing all social media and other distracting app. I could then optionally add an access window of 15 mins total during that time where I am allowed to access a bunch of distracting apps. This would give me a lot more flexibility in when I can access these apps without getting lost down the rabbit hole.
