How to override default cap-location set in _quarto.yml

[Dobrokhotov1989]

Hi there!

In my Quarto book, I set the default location of captions as 'margin'.
However, when I'm trying to arrange figures into 2 columns, the layout option is just ignored and I get single-column output. I can achieve a two-column layout by removing the figure caption; apparently, it's not how I want it to be.

Is it possible to override the default figure cap-location in chunk options and divs?

Representative example:
_quarto.yml

format: 
  html: 
    cap-location: margin

index.qmd

```{r}
#| include: false
library(tidyverse)
library(here)
```

```{r}
#| include: false

p1 <- mpg %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = cty,
             y = hwy)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_smooth(method = 'loess',
              formula = 'y ~ x')

ggsave(here('plot1.png'), device = "png")

p2 <- mpg %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = displ,
             y = hwy,
             color = cyl)) +
  geom_point()

ggsave(here('plot2.png'), device = 'png')
```

Two column works when caption omitted,
```{r}
#| echo: false
#| layout-ncol: 2
p1
p2 
```

but doesn't work with captions.
```{r}
#| echo: false
#| layout-ncol: 2
#| cap-location: bottom
#| fig-cap: "Should be 2 columns"

p1
p2
```

::: {#fig-divs layout-ncol=2}

![plot1](`r here('plot1.png')`){#fig-plot1}

![plot2](`r here('plot2.png')`){#fig-plot2}

It doesn't work in divs too.
