Interdimensional Redstone

So the Sculk Sensors are very cool, I've been messing around with them with the snapshots and they are neat. But it got me thinking, its just a Observer, it detects block updates from a distance which while may keep the redstone clean, it won't really add anything particularly new to the redstone mechanics.

So I thought, what if they were able to carry a signal through dimensions. If the Sculk Sensors could carry a literal signal though the nether and end dimensions, it would add so much more capability and possibilities. You'd be able to push a button in the over world for example and get enderpearls from an end farm you have set up, without ever needing to go there.

Farms would be greatly expanded, as a signal would be able to travel long distances without the need of the wires which can be blown up and such. Not saying that it will never happen, but the possibility of that diminishes greatly as the removal of the wires prevents such things from happening.

Not sure if this is making any sense. But that's the idea, have the Sculk's signal travel through dimensions.

    I understand your idea, however I don't agree with how you think of Sculk Sensors as observers. Just have a look on Twitter or Instagram and you will see so many unique creations using Sculk Sensors that were only possible using Command Blocks beforehand. Sculk Sensors could be used to detect any vibrations, not just the breaking or placing of blocks in a certain area like Observers do. You can create systems and contraptions that only trigger when certain actions happen in certain areas using Wool Occlusion and Comparators to determine frequency of vibrations. I've seen people make dynamic pixel art on huge scales using Sculk Sensors, and even making touchpads! I'm not criticizing your idea, I'm just telling you that the possibilities and creative potential of Sculk Sensors exceeds that of almost every other Redstone component, even when it comes to Survival based contraptions like building mob traps or mob farms (for instance, you can make a grinder that is triggered by the movement of mobs inside the mob farm).
