feature request: make the block usable, if called via PHP

Permalink
I tried to use the block with the following code:

$azi = BlockType::getByHandle('zoom_image');
$azi->controller->thumbnailWidth = 400;
$azi->controller->thumbnailHeight = 135; 
$azi->controller->fID = 123;
$azi->render('view');


This does not work, because the output of the block (view.php) needs a "bID" (which is not given, if called this way).

Next thing is, that "on_page_view" can not be called, because of the missing "bID".
