This sounds like a job for linked (or mapped) content controls. Refer to Greg Maxey or Graham Mayor's addins for simpler access to this functionality.

Hi Andrew,
Mapped content controls will not help with Building Blocks across documents. Mapped controls are great, but they only work within a single document. I'm not sure if they can be a part of a building block (other than the built-in document property mapped content controls).
