cross-references are broken when output format is docx

Prework

• Read and agree to the code of conduct and contributing guidelines.
• If there is already a relevant issue, whether open or closed, comment on the existing thread instead of posting a new issue.
• Post a minimal reproducible example so the maintainer can troubleshoot the problems you identify. A reproducible example is:
  • Runnable: post enough R code and data so any onlooker can create the error on their own computer.
  • Minimal: reduce runtime wherever possible and remove complicated details that are irrelevant to the issue at hand.
  • Readable: format your code according to the tidyverse style guide.

Description

Cross-references was broken when output format is docx.

Reproducible example

a minimal reproducible example from #994

---
title: "quarto gt"
format: docx
---

## Quarto

A table @tbl-gt.

```{r}
#| label: tbl-gt
#| tbl-cap: A Caption
#| echo: false

library(gt)

mtcars |> 
  head() |>
  gt() |>  
  tab_spanner(
    label = "performance",
    columns = c(
      mpg, cyl, disp
      )
  ) 
```

Here is a screenshot from docx.

Expected result

Cross-references work!

Session info

End the reproducible example with a call to sessionInfo() in the same session (e.g. reprex(session_info = TRUE)) and include the output.

Just to add, the same problem is happening with Knitr, so it's (maybe) not just a Quarto thing.

Hi, I have the same issue. Is there any fix planned soon?

[tdemarchin]

Hi, this a very blocking issue as I cannot gt in production, do you plan to fix it soon?

[ldecicco-USGS]

I wanted to add that example given in this issue shows 2 problems. The cross referencing doesn't work, and the caption doesn't show up. Ideally both would be fixed.

The issue was solved by Quarto 1.4.376, so I'm gone to close it.
