I’m talking about mainly third person narrators in fiction, like for example, “if you have felt/heard/seen X then…”. What is it called?

I think comments are messed up, so if someone answered (or if someone gave this answer and it was wrong…) apologies!

Isn’t it “breaking the fourth wall”?

I would think “aside” would be a better term.

Another commenter mentioned it.
