when i made this post i was referring to making item texture selectors being able to use block textures
and then there are many blocks in minecraft that use block textures as item textures: levers, torches, ladders, bars, rails, grass, ferns, flowers, saplings, lilypads, vines, leaf litter, corals, cobwebs, amethyst clusters, pointed dripstone, glow lichen, skulk veins, barriers, structure voids and light blocks
plants and panes automatically use their main block textures as their item textures but you can't do it using the texture selector,
Elements should use textures from folders they belong to as this way game can optimize things.
What you want to do is an anti pattern and we don't encourage this
You can also just duplicate a texture for one element type into another element type.
