I doubt that, we made pseudo-fields for attack_movement. Our map parser
handles that attribute in a way that it splits that attribute into two
attributes for displaying. And later merges them at saving.

And as the Java editor doesn't handle move_type/move_block correct (not at all
      afaik) that wouldn't work either.

Yes, something like this has been considered and is on the TODO.
But it's more a version >=2.0 feature.
