Does a blocked enemy's When Played effect trigger when Long Distance Alerts blocks it, including when the enemy is in the discard pile?

No. The enemy is never played, so its When Played effect does not trigger, and you cannot progress on it with the alert. The same holds for a blocked card taken from the discard pile, since blocking it does not count as playing it.
