Is there any option to add "notes" or "sources" to markdown tables using quarto?

Description

Im currently working on a small report, for which I'm trying to create a dynamic document using Quarto.
As of right now, im creating most tables using markdown tables.
Now, I know how to add Title's and reference to them. However, I am not sure how to add Notes to those tables.

For example, the following code would produce the table I want, with the title

| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
|------|------|------|
| A    | B    | C    |
| E    | F    | G    |
| A    | G    | G    |
: First Table {#tbl-first}

No what If i want to add a source: "Source: Me(2023)" or other comments of a similar tone?

Is there any way to do that?

Thank you!

Not really, especially using pipe tables.

For complex tables, you should consider using HTML tables features that comes with Quarto 1.3 and later version, see https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/tables.html#html-tables.

Thank you for the suggestion.
Im currently finding it harder to use HTML tables. Since Im working with Stata and nbstata to make the document, I couldn't find an easy way to import html tables produced by esttab and estout (User written commands).

I think I can do without for now. Perhaps at some point some options are provided!

Thank you

You can also look for Grid Tables instead of pipe tables, see https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#tables.
