Batch editing of HTML per BLOCK?

Hello Community,
Does it possible to edit a bulk of HTML code per block?
For example:
Block 1 contains 3 Questions + 1 HTML Code Image links like:
Question 1
www.example.com/images/Cell_1_smile.jpg
Question 2
www.example.com/images/Cell_1_Question.jpg
Question 3
www.example.com/images/Cell_1_test.jpg

Now my idea is to do:
-Rename every Cell_1 to Cell_2 in Block 2
-Rename every Cell_1 to Cell_3 in Block 3

Thats just an example: in real situation i have more than 18 Block and 30 Questions per Block. Its a lot of work to swap the questions and editing the HTML Code. (18x30 = 324x steps)

Regards
Markus

Create an embedded data 'LinkPart' at start of the survey flow and assign 'Cell_1' value to it, which is value of block 1 URL.
All the links in question of all the blocks will be same as below except _smile, _Question, etc. would be different in different questions:
 www.example.com/images/${e://Field/LinkPart}_smile.jpg
Now, before block 2 add an embedded data element and update "LinkPart" value to "Cell_2", similarly before the other blocks also, update the value of LinkPart embedded data to respective value.

Yes, you can create an embedded data (LinkPart) and before every block update the value of that embedded data.
So the link would be like - www.example.com/images/${e://Field/LinkPart}_smile.jpg

Hi rondev,
that was easy, thank you so much!

Possible to make a preview in block view or in editor, too? i cant see the image. i know i dont get a variable to see. in Full preview it works fine, but i would be nice to see the image in editor, too.
Do you know a techniq to use variables in Heatmap question types, too?

ah Heatmaps are not really important. But maybe you could help me for a other problem, too...

Does it possible to align the elements from left to right instead top to down?
And if i put a element into a group, it would be better if the elements arrange side by side and not stacking.
