Answers.Text: Thank you. The asset would need a field for title or label as well and maybe one or two more. I'll look into the plugin route.

  I just published a plugin called [Limit Block Type](https://github.com/mmikkel/limitblocktype), which adds the ability to limit Matrix blocks per block type.
  
  There's also a [feature request](https://craftcms.uservoice.com/forums/285221-feature-requests/suggestions/7192758-limit-matrix-blocks-per-block-type) for adding this feature to core.
