Description
It is not that uncommon to refer to citations within something already in parentheses or to have the citation in parentheses along with a cross reference to a table, figure, or equation. In those cases it can be nice to separate each element by a semi-colon rather than having back to back parentheses e.g. "(Figure 3; Name 2022)" as opposed to "(Figure 3) (Name 2022)". This issue has been raised on stackoverflow, but there was never an accepted answer. Perhaps there could be (or already is) some syntax for this in quarto?
