Description
I've poked around quite a bit but haven't found anything about this. The report() function is fantastic, but I can only get it to display on the console. I'm not able to save it as an object and then, say, reformat it or re-arrange the elements in a Markdown document. I've been able to partially accomplish this using:
myoutput <- utils::capture.output(report(mymodel))
But that's pretty clunky (and I don't trust that the location of the character strings will be consistent across different model formulations) Is there an option within the report() function to save it as an object?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the report() entry point and reviewing how utils::capture.output(report(mymodel)) currently collects its console output. Determine the intended object representation and how it should preserve report information across model formulations; done means callers can save the report result and reliably reformat or reorder it without parsing console strings.
