Help with supplemental figures in Typst

[mps9506]

Description

I'm attempting to use the custom float cross reference types to create supplementary figure and table captions and cross references (eg. Fig S1, Table S1) with the Typst output. Here is what I am currently doing:

---
title: "MWE"
format: typst

crossref:
  custom:
    - kind: float
      key: suppfig
      reference-prefix: Figure S
      caption-location: bottom
      space-before-numbering: false
---

:::{#suppfig-test}
```{r}
#| echo: false
plot(rnorm(50),rnorm(50))
```
test caption
::::

This nearly works but I get an undesired space between the prefix and the number:

Looking at the .typ output, the figure block looks like:

#figure([
#block[
#block[
#box(width: 396.0pt, image("mew_files/figure-typst/unnamed-chunk-1-1.svg"))

]
]
], caption: figure.caption(
position: bottom, 
[
test caption
]), 
kind: "quarto-float-suppfig", 
supplement: "Figure S", 
numbering: "1", 
)
<suppfig-test>

There is no obvious way to control spacing using the custom float. I'm wondering if I'm missing a way to specify the numbering parameter via Quarto instead (https://typst.app/docs/reference/model/numbering/)? Something like numbering: "S1"

Here is my session info:

We haven't implemented support for space-before-numbering in typst yet.

Something like numbering: "S1"

That's not going to work; what needs to happen is more intricate, and involves redefining the function that takes supplement and numbering and produces the caption content.
