Using ampersand (&) to select only the provided parent string and not the whole concatenated parent

[aleksander351]

My SCSS:

.block {
    margin: 2px;

    & &__element {
        margin: 3px;
              
        &-nested {
            margin: 4px;
        }
    }
}

The desired output:

.block {
  margin: 2px;
}

.block .block__element {
  margin: 3px;
}

.block .block__element .block__element-nested {
  margin: 4px;
}

Obviously, the & selector copies the whole parent when applying to a child. But could there be a way to combine the child name with only the provided direct parent?
