There has been a little talk already about adding background image support for Template Parts. This would likely include an option to set the background image in a fixed position, similar to the option currently available for the Cover block. However, I think it would be useful to extract this option from being specifically tied to background settings, and make it a more general option.
Based on conversation in this thread, here's a mockup:
- Layout panel becomes a ToolsPanel where the position toggle can be a non-default option for Group
- As a starting point, just two options, Default and Sticky
When a group has been set to sticky, the list view is segmented into sticky and scrollable categories:
As needs emerge, we can explore adding additional options, including placement.

However, I think it would be useful to extract this option from being specifically tied to background settings, and make it a more general option that’s available to Header and Footer Template Parts whether or not they have a background applied.
I can see this option working well in the “Advanced” settings for the Template Part in the Block Inspector, alongside potential new icon options for setting a Template area as shown in PR #30005:
For a working example, Invision prototypes have a similar option allowing you to lock elements to the top or bottom of the browser window:
