Caption and crossrefs not working in Quarto (Word output)

[busemorose]

Hello. First, thank you very much for your work. I've been using flextable for more than 1 year and it's awesome. I'm not sure where to post so feel free to delete the issue if not appropriate.

I'm trying to transition from Rmarkdown to Quarto and I'm struggling to have the flextable objects working as intended. The tables appear nicely but there is no label neither caption. I had a look at a recent thread about this problem and a potential solution but couldn't manage to make it work (quarto-dev/quarto-cli#1556 (comment)). I (hopefully correctly) updated flextable, quarto, office and officedown to the last Github version available, as suggested.

Reproducible example

---
title: "Untitled"
format: docx
---

```{r include=FALSE}
library(officer)
library(officedown)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
```


blah blah blah `r run_reference(id = "tbl-flextable")`.

```{r}
#| label: tbl-flextable
#| tbl-cap: Caption **strong**
flextable::flextable(mtcars[1:4, 1:4])
```

My output (traduction: Error! Reference Source Not Found)

hello,

Yes, we removed quarto/docx captions from the dev version temporary.

We are working on it. We will put them back soon, this week probably. :)

Nice to hear! Thank you.

Hello,

It should be ok now. Note it's recommended to define the caption with set_caption if you want formatted caption!

---
title: "Untitled"
format: docx
---

```{r include=FALSE}
library(flextable)
library(officer)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
```


blah blah blah `r run_reference(id = "tbl-flextable")`.

```{r}
#| label: tbl-flextable
#| tbl-cap: Caption **strong**
flextable(mtcars[1:4, 1:4]) |>
  set_caption(
    caption = as_paragraph(
      "Caption ",
      as_chunk("strong", props = fp_text_default(bold = TRUE))
    )
  )
```
