Can one use include-after-body with Markdown code as text rather than external file?

Description

The Quarto documentation notes that content inserted via the include-after-body option can either be specified as text directly in the YAML file, or by reference to an external file. I'm interested in using the former of these two options, but at the same time I would like my text to be parsed as Markdown. Is this possible?

In general, Markdown is not parsed

Save to index.qmd:

---
format:
  html:
    include-after-body:
      - text:
          # Intended as after-body automated heading, but interpreted as YAML comment :(
          Automated text
---

# Non-automated heading

Non-automated text

Render via

quarto render index.qmd

which shows that the intended heading is ignored as a YAML comment.

What I also tried but does not work

Probably somewhat naively, I tried to add a | to make this work in the following fashion:

---
format:
  html:
    include-after-body:
      - text: |
          # Intended as after-body automated heading, but included as regular text :(
          Automated text
---

# Non-automated heading

Non-automated text

But here, Markdown is not passed either and the heading just included as regular text.

Other ideas

Of course I could include the Markdown code as an external file, but in my case this seems overkill for the (actually very brief) Markdown code I'd like to include.

include-* are for raw content, HTML for format: html, OpenXM for format: docx, etc.

Note that the references pages are not the extensive documentation, it's really a glossary of the options.
See for instance the documentation of include-* option for HTML: https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-basics.html#includes
