Not neccesarily an ability to directly use abilities in one's blood, just that coincidentally that's where the power is stored. Like if an Allomancer tries to burn a feruchemical storage that they made. They're burning the metal to preform an Allomantic act, and there just happens to be an added source of power in this metal that they can use. So a Hemalurgist would be using their blood to preform an act of Hemalurgy, and they are able to tap into the other latent abilities of the blood they're using.
