Describe the issue:

Multiple list outputs are currently not supported in Quarto inline output code chunk.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Open a Positron or an RStudios session
2. run any function that outputs multiple list objects inline or the following code

library(ggraph)
library(tidygraph)

graph <- as_tbl_graph(highschool) |> 
    mutate(Popularity = centrality_degree(mode = 'in'))

graph

4. observe difference in behavior (e.g., Positron output plain text while Rstudio supports multiple list outputs inline.

Expected or desired behavior:

Thank you so much for all the wonderful work in the Quarto inline output feature! In my workflows, I tend to work with objects that output multiple lists. Rstudios inline output capability in being able to interact with multiple list outputs is great as I am able to easily navigate between these multiple list outputs within the same code chunk. Attached is a video below demoing how certain objects output node and edge data for object of class "tbl_graph" "igraph" If this feature is already being tracked somewhere and I may have missed happy to follow it along there and close this one out! :-)

Take for example an object of class "tbl_graph" "igraph" and type "list" which I have included in a video demo below for both Rstudio and Positron behavior

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

NA

Start by tracing Positron's Quarto inline output handling and compare its behavior with the RStudio video examples provided in the issue. Done means a code chunk producing multiple list outputs presents each output interactively rather than falling back to plain text.
