Description

I find that in /R/latex.R, there is engine_args, but no bib_engine_args.

somethimes, bib_engine_args is needed for bib_engine, such as https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown/issues/651 or https://github.com/sjtug/SJTUThesis/issues/378 .We may need such args.

Could you support it? Thank you.

Research direction

Start in R/latex.R at the existing engine_args handling and trace how bib_engine is invoked. Determine where a bib_engine_args option would be accepted and forwarded, then verify that bibliography compilation supports the requested arguments without changing existing engine behavior.
