Linking Allays to Specific Noteblocks

At the moment, all allays will go to a noteblock if it was triggered recently however this feature doesn't allow only specific allays to go to a noteblock which I think would be a great use for them. To fix this allays could link up to a certain noteblock pitch and instrument by a special tool called the tuning fork (this could either be found in the deep dark or crafted, it doesn't really matter for this explanation). When left clicking a noteblock with this item, it will saves its pitch as well as its instrument and then an allay could be right clicked with it to link it to the pitch. The allay could also have a texture change to make it clear to the player that the allay has been linked and when left clicked with a tuning fork, you could see what note that allay is linked to. Now whenever that specific note will be played that Allay as well as all the allays who aren't linked to any notes yet will drop items off at that specific noteblock. This system would allow for lots of new creativity with farms and I think it would be a nice addition to the game.

    For the texture change the allay could change from blue to the color of the note that appears over the note block

    Yeah they could do that or, if they wanted to keep the allay blue, they could make the allay slightly transparent by default and when they are linked to a note block note, they would become more opaque.
