New sensing block?

I absolutely need this for a project. So, the block is similar to the
(distance to [sprite v])
block. But instead of the middle of the sprite being the “distance”, we have it where the closest part of the sprite is counted. It should look kinda like this:
(distance to closest part of [ v]::sensing)
It would work like this:
Sprite= @ or *
It detects the closest part of a sprite. For example, the * sprite would have a slightly shorter distance to @ with the “Distance of closest part of sprite”,
and the normal distance would be longer. It doesn't detect the middle of a sprite like norm distance. It detects the closest part of the sprite
Can we have this? I don't think its that confusing. I mean, I don't understand the ABS and the like block
(Note: I closed this by pressing close discussion on accident; it is reopened now!)
Thank you for reading!

there may be ambiguity, no support

no, it's checking the closest spot to the sprites direction.

Yeah. So I'm making a project where a sprite has to detect where another sprite is thru a wall (Using (If distance to closest part of ) . Heres an example:
O=center of wall
*=sprite
@=another sprite
|=wall
WITH NORMAL DISTANCE TO BLOCK:

@ | O | *||| Distance to other sprite is greater than distance to wall? Yes

O @|*||| Distance to other sprite is greater than distance to wall? No (I don't want it to be)

WITH NEW BLOCK:
@ | O | *||| Distance to other sprite is greater than distance to wall? Yes

O @|*||| Distance to other sprite is greater than distance to wall? Yes (I want this)

There quick explaination
