Description

When running Jupyter notebooks on VSCode, I can select kernels based on conda environments. When running Quarto qmd files on VSCode, I'm bound to the rpath set for the project (which normally doesn't work that well with conda envs). It would be great if the quarto VSCode extension would present to the user, per .qmd file, the ability to pick a conda environment. That would put .qmd and jupyter notebooks at the same level of usability dependencies wise (currently I'm doing all my quarto from jupyter because debugging cells in .qmd its hard when you cannot pick the environment for that .qmd file).

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names the Quarto VSCode extension and .qmd execution, but no files or tests. Start by locating the extension entry point for running .qmd files and compare it with VS Code's conda-based notebook kernel selection. Done means a user can choose a conda environment per .qmd file and use it for execution and debugging.
