TARGET block emits signal by melee contact

I'd like the team to consider the 1.16.x TARGET block to emit a redstone signal even when struck by direct contact with a melee tool. Your hand, an item held in hand.

 

As many things as possible to directly make contact with the TARGET block, I feel, should produce a redstone signal. I do not feel this should be exclusively ranged tools to make this happen. I feel the nature of such a block would be vibration, in which case striking the TARGET block by hand should produce a vibration just as a bolt from your crossbow.

 

Thank you! Take care!

  the target block should only emit redstone if you shoot it long distance, however, for what you say, we would need a new block, which when hitting it emits redstone

  Can't you do this with a note block and an observer?  I might be remembering how the noteblock works in terms of block updates incorrectly, but Either way I think this is a neat idea.
