Can a figure/box/table overflow into the margin deliberately and with wrapped text?

Question

New to LaTeX, learning fast.

Book document.

I want to have full width pictures in text (sorted). I want to have figures/boxes in the margin (sorted, I think, with packages and commands like \marginpar or sidenotes) I want to have figures/tables that wrap text around them. (sorted, I think, with wrapfig)

Can I have a figure that has wrapped text, where the figure overflows into the margin? A search would suggest having it know which way it can/should overflow can be tricky and needs commands/packages that help with "odd page" checking.

But I cant work out if this is actually possible with wrapped text, and/or with other margin based content. I've found a lot of "post-figure whitespace" problems as well, but not sure what terms I need to solve this.

Attached images show target layouts. Includes both a left-face and right-face page. Both have the wrapped/overflowed figure at the top, but that's not essential (if anything, I'd like to be able [h] it roughly with the right text, which is another whole ball of wax) The right page even has a full width image that covers the whole text margin plus the external.

I know it's a lot to ask, but I'd really love a simple example that matches either of the attached images, and if my odd/even page problem suspicion is correct, one that can do both pages.

You can use a mixture of wrapfig, sidenotes and the standard figure environment. Be prepared for the placement to be suboptimal and a lot of finetuning by hand.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{sidenotes}
\usepackage{wrapfig}

\begin{document}

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}[\dimexpr\marginparwidth+\marginparsep\relax]{10em}
  \rule{10em}{5em}
  \caption{A black box}
\end{wrapfigure}
\blindtext
\begin{marginfigure}
  \rule{\marginparwidth}{5em}
  \caption{A black box}
\end{marginfigure}
\blindtext
\begin{figure*}[h!]
  \centering
  \rule{\dimexpr\textwidth+\marginparwidth+\marginparsep\relax}{10em}
  \caption{A black box}
\end{figure*}

\end{document}
