I recently learned that holding the wraith form or ice block button while being hooked by a enemy Roadhog allows you to use the ability the very moment the hook stun wears off.
Does this apply to every skill? I.e. can every skill be hold to activate the moment the player gets back control of their character?
Does this work with every type of stun? There are multiple stun abilities in Overwatch (Reinhardts earthshatter, McCrees flashbang, Meis primary attack and blizzard ult, Anas sleep dart, Roadhogs hook (Both for the hooked and Roadhog himself)). Does each stun allow holding the ability key to use it asap?

Yes, but
There are a couple of skills that require a target. A few that come to mind are Mercy's Guardian Angel, Ana's Nano Boost, and Zenyatta's Orbs of Harmony/Discord. You need to have a target acquired when the skill becomes available or else it won't activate.
Yes.
Not only does it work with stuns and stun-like abilities, it works with the cooldown of the ability itself. If you really need to ice block but it's on cooldown, you can just hold the button for it and it will activate the instant it's ready.
