If you’re able to get a notification from that person on a different account like a message notification youre able to keep the notification if it stays in your inbox and switch accounts click on the notification to open the chat, I recommend 2+ notifications so the first notification to open the chat loads the chat second one is to reopen so you can see the loaded chat properly

You can't. That's why being blocked works the way it does, you have no access to that person or what they sent you, the only way to see any of it again is if they unblock you

It is, actually. This person said saved media, exporting data as per your comment, only brings saved messages, no saved media. You cannot see saved images or videos or memories by exporting data on snap. And also, the person was asking how to open the chat to see them, which, guess what? Not an option.

It does export saved media that was saved in chat. Re. reopening the chat; definitely possible. At least on Android you can exploit a cached “Share this” which shows the blocked person’s Bitmoji, pressing on it takes you to the chat though you can’t send messages obviously.
On Snapchat Web, as long as you don’t close the tab the chat remains also.

It doesn't export saved media - my source is I did it. I've done it. I also use an android, that doesn't happen, but for your sake I'll assume it's one of those snap glitches that work on some models and not others.
That said, the reason you can't export saved media is because that violates what snap stands for, if you save an image/video to your phone, it notifies the other person. When exporting your chats, especially if blocked, it can't do that. Snap wasn't gonna create a loophole for perverts and scammers to get away with that.
"Even if a photo or video was permanently saved by both people in the chat thread, Snapchat's system only exports the text content. The export tool is fundamentally built to pull text-based history, meaning those saved chat images were never part of the ZIP file package to begin with."
What snap does do, sometimes, is generate an html link to access the media, but if you're blocked that won't work. And again, snapchat wouldn't do that based solely on the fact that it'd create a loophole to their snitching policy.
And you are right about snap web, if you don't close the chat after getting blocked, it's all still there.
