Thanks for reporting this issue.
Yes, Quadlet does not support all the different arguments supported by podman run. Having said that, it supports the key PodmanArgs that provided the means to pass any argument that is not directly supported by Quadlet.

That's how I got around it, but the UX suffers a bit since you can't define a mount.volume unit and then reference it like Mount=mount.volume:/tmp,type=volume for example.

I did not think about this use case. I'll take a look.

To be honest, my knowledge with podman is quite limited, and this may only apply to --mount with type=volume option and not any of the others. Still, the option of being able to define a .volume unit and reference it on the .container unit as is the case for the Volume directive seems to make sense, especially since by default the name of the generated volume will have systemd- prepended to it.
