Wouldn't groups be enough? The dxf-import could then look up the BLOCK in the
DXF and draw it as a group everywhere it is inserted.
How are BLOCKs used normally? Like dia shapes, were you have a predefined set
of shapes or as a kind of macro in the dxf? In the first case, you migh want
to create a tool that extracts BLOCKs from dxf files and saves them as shapes.
The dxf import could afterwards try to load shapes named like the included
BLOCKs.
Shapes don't get stored along with the dia file - they would be lost after
saving the dxf as a dia file.
