Is it possible to add PAGE NUMBER to crossreference when render quarto to Word ?

[FannyVille]

Description

Hi,

My issue

In a rendered word document (not pdf),
I would like to know if there is a way to add after the label of the cross-reference, the page number.
Or at least just instead of giving the section name as label, give the page number.

Actual situation

## 2. Method {#sec-method}

We selected the method TRUCBIDULE ... 


## 3. Results {#sec-resultat}

  ### 3.1 Results part 1 {#sec-resultP1}

  ### 3.1 Results part 2 {#sec-resultP2}

Blabla bla ,  due to the selected method TRUCBIDULE  @sec-method p. 

The resulted Word document:

The desired solution

Thank you in advance

This would require to know in advance how many pages are going to be needed to write everything and/or to use very specific Word feature.
So I would say, based on the level of support from Pandoc, that it is not possible to do that right now.

Hi

Thank you @mcanouil for replying very fast to questions.

I found a solution !
I leave it here, if anyone else has the same problem as me

My solution

Using the package officer and officedown and the function officer::run_word_field

There is nothing to add in the YALM

1. At the beginning of the script, below the YALM I am adding a block code to load the officer :

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
library(officedown)
library(officer)

2. Then in my text after adding my cross-reference @sec-method I continue with inline code (p.r run_word_field(field = "PAGEREF sec-method") )

## 2. Method {#sec-method}

We selected the method TRUCBIDULE ... 


## 3. Results {#sec-resultat}

  ### 3.1 Results part 1 {#sec-resultP1}

  ### 3.1 Results part 2 {#sec-resultP2}

Blabla bla ,  due to the selected method TRUCBIDULE  @sec-method (p.`r run_word_field(field = "PAGEREF sec-method")`)

It is a bit boring/ long to write but it does the job.

here the result:

Improvement

To be faster in my writing, I had the idea to creating a code snippets:

snippet p
	(p.` r run_word_field(field= "PAGEREF ${0:mysection}") `)

The problem is that there are subtleties I don't know about with snippets, but if I don't add spaces before and after the first backtick the snippets don't appear. So I had to add spaces. (p. ` r . For inline code to work, there must be no gap between the first backtick and the r character. So every time I use my trick, I'll have to remember to remove the space to make the code work online.

EDIT the issue with code snippets

The code snippet below allow to avoid space after the r character by adding ${1:}r

snippet p
	 (p.`${1:}r run_word_field(field= "PAGEREF ${2:mysection}")`

The "Officeverse" is a good bet as it is focused on Word specific features as long as you want to work with knitr/R said the computing engine.
