Is it possible to override the code syntax highlighting language for a chunk?

Description

Sometimes I use rpy2 to include R code in a jupyter kernel via the %%R magic. Ideally I would like the code in these chunks to be highlighted as R code rather than Python code, is this possible?

The chunks look like this:

```{python}
%%R

# Some R code here
```

Possibly via a Lua filter that modifies the "echoed cell".

That's probably the best path. @joelostblom you can add keep-md: true to your document to see the intermediate markdown that is provided to Quarto, and go from there.

Thank you both!
