Description
In https://github.com/rstudio/pins-r/pull/877, we are adding support for reading and writing multiple values for type, as outlined in https://github.com/rstudio/pins-r/issues/788.
In R, it will look like:
board |>
pin_write(account_information,
name = "account_information",
type = c("parquet", "csv"))
You can see an example pin that has multiple types at https://pub.demo.posit.team/content/d97baef7-228e-4eee-8e45-79bd8aaeca71; let me know if you have trouble accessing that.
I think the minimum support we'd want on the Python side is being able to read one of these, something like this with a new optional type:
board.pin_read("hadley/sales-summary", type = "parquet")
Full support would look like reading and writing.

Research direction
Start at the board.pin_read entry point and compare it with the example pin linked in the issue, then trace how its type value is consumed. Done means the agreed Python-side scope—at minimum reading a selected type, or full read/write support if chosen—works with a pin containing multiple types.
