Depending on your situation, and this might work because it sounds like you have a 1:1 ratio of records between blocks (each block on the query-only one has one and only one corresponding record on the insert/update block), put an bunch of non-displayed items on one block and in the property palettes, synchronize their values with the items in the other block. That way you can compare them in one block w/o having to actually navigate to the second block. Then, use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY or SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY to set whatever stuff you need to dynamically.
