Description

It would be great to be able to give a qmd file as an abstract instead of having to write everything in the frontmatter!

Research direction

Start by tracing how Quarto CLI currently reads an abstract from frontmatter and where a qmd file path could be accepted. Done means an abstract supplied as a qmd file works without putting the full text in frontmatter, while existing abstract behavior remains intact.
