Bug description
Hello,
I am using a manuscript project. I'm trying to embed from a .qmd file the contents of a chunk that has subplots. According to the guide, it should be possible using the jupyter environment. However I am not able to make it work with the knirt environment.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Steps to reproduce
index.qmd
---
title: embed-issue
authors:
- name: Juan
---
## Section
{{< embed notebook.qmd#fig-test >}}
notebook.qmd
---
title: "notebook"
---
```{r}
#| label: fig-test
#| fig-cap: this is figure caption
#| fig-subcap:
#| - "This is subfig 1"
#| - "This is subfig 2"
#| - "This is subfig 3"
#| layout-ncol: 3
hist(x = runif(100))
hist(x = rnorm(100))
plot(x = runif(100), y = rnorm(100))
```Actual behavior
I obtain the following error code
[1/2] notebook.qmd
[2/2] index.qmd
ERROR: The cell fig-test does not exist in notebook
Expected behavior
All subfigures should be embeded in the index.qmd document, as shown in the guide
