How will it know which loop to “break”, though? I mean, it makes sense partially, but in reality, how would it determine whether to break the “if <> then” statement or the repeat?

Break [Loop v] :: control

Maybe:

Break [Loop v] :: control

The loop part being like a colour picker. Instead for blocks.

So… Every loop would need to be assigned a kind of ID of sorts, and when clicking on it, you'd be able to choose which one?
I don't know, seems like quite a lot of work.

script :: events hat
repeat (1000) 
  if <key [space v] pressed?> then 
    stop [this script v] // you can just stop the script inside without having to break
  end
  move (10) steps

What is the purpose of this break block?

when green flag clicked
repeat (1000)
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
stop [this script v]
end
move (10) steps

Alternative:

When the space key is pressed, it stops the loop script.

when green flag clicked
repeat (1000) // Randomly Long Intro
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
stop [this script v]
end
move (10) steps
end
Game stuff... :: grey // Game stuff

set [loops v] to [0]
repeat until <<...> or <(loops) > [999]>>
...
change [loops v] by (1)
end

set [break v] to [no]
repeat until <<...>or<(break)=[yes]>>
if (...::grey) then // example script
set [break v] to [yes]
end
end

stop [this loop v]

when green flag clicked
set [break v] to [no]
broadcast [loop v]

when I receive [loop v]
if < (break) = [no] > then
 repeat until <...>
 end
end

define break
set [break v] to [yes] 
broadcast [loop v]

break // should arbitrarily break the loop or my scratch-fu is too rusty

Based off duckboycool's workaround, for a general break block:

set [break v] to [no]
set [loops v] to [0]
repeat until <<(loops) = [999]>or<(break)=[yes]>>
if (...::grey) then // example script
set [break v] to [yes]
end
change [loops v] by (1)
end

however this workaround won't stop the rest of the loop's scripts.

repeat (1000) {
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
break [grandparent v] :: control

move (10) steps
} :: control

break [parent v] :: control // Stops the c-block the script is in
break [grandparent v] :: control // Stops the parent of the c-block it's in.

When the space key is pressed, it stops the loop script.

when green flag clicked
repeat (1000)
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
broadcast [continue v]
stop [this script v]
end
move (10) steps

stop [this script]

Have you seen the example script?

When the space key is pressed, it stops the loop script.

The way this workaround works is that when an action happens, the script is stopped. However, if you attach other blocks to outside of the repeat script (what I mean is it isn't in the repeat block, it's outside of it, but it still part of the full script).

This example is the opposite:

when green flag clicked
repeat (1000)
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
broadcast [continue v]
stop [this script v]
end
move (10) steps
end

when I receive [continue v]
...

The broadcast button starts another script before breaking the looping script. It's not a “boardcast () and wait” block, so the stop block happens right after the broadcast block is activated.

When the broadcast is received other scripts happen.

I recommend to put a wait block in the “when I receive block” in-case the loop script doesn't stop quickly.
