Basically what my question asked. Is there a way to have a ray ignore everything in the workspace except for specific bricks? Preferably a method that doesn't involve scanning the entire workspace to put all the bricks into a table and then remove those specific bricks. Thanks!

The simple answer is No.
Without sticking everything that is not a parent of the bricks into a table, there's no way. That said, you can stick all of the bricks into a single Folder or Model and use the ignoreDescendentsInstance parameter of Workspace:FindPartOnRay()
Adding on to eLunate, it may be easier to simply check what you hit. Instead of ignoring all but a few bricks, just make sure what you hit are those bricks.
if hit.Name == "SpecialBrick" then

Checking them assumes that the ray is not meant to ignore the parts, but instead the code is meant to ignore it.

This makes sure that the part you hit is the 'special' part. It would be easier than ignoring all other parts, and would still work fine in most situations.
