refrenced doc:
If you wish, you can specify a static variable in a particular
function or file, using the colon-colon (`::') notation:
FILE::VARIABLE
FUNCTION::VARIABLE
In such case the doc should be updated, particularly that it has became now
related to the currently selected frame.

It may be all even more tricky than it was before. What about using query()
if such reference is ambiguous?
It may not be so easy determining the ambiguity. Something like checking
symbol_read_needs_frame() and then also checking if there exist >= 2 different
frames containing the block.
