publish to Confluence with params

Description

Firstly, I wanted to mention that I found this related discussion: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/discussions/5310

In that discussion, it sounded like the recommended approach (until publish inherits from render) is to do a two-stage approach: first rendering the document with parameters supplied and then to publish using the --no-render option.

Unfortunately, when I tried to do that I get:
ERROR: Confluence requires rendering before publish

My code:

quarto render confl.qmd -P myvar:"test"
quarto publish confluence --no-render confl.qmd

Am I approaching this wrong? Is it possible to pass render-time parameters to a Confluence-bound .qmd?

quarto --version
1.4.550
Ubuntu 20.04

Reproduce the reported workflow with quarto render confl.qmd -P myvar:"test" followed by quarto publish confluence --no-render confl.qmd. Read discussions 9830 and 5310 for the intended parameter and publish behavior. Done means the supported workflow is identified and the Confluence publish path no longer rejects the pre-rendered document, or the limitation is clearly documented.
