I assumed that RStudio would get the path from somewhere, rather than it being hardcoded, and based on the response in [a comment thread](https://powerusers.codidact.com/comments/thread/6936), that somewhere is `RSTUDIO_PANDOC` in `.Rprofile`. **So you should be able to adjust the path there, to point RStudio at a wrapper script** that adds the parameter you want to pass to `pandoc`. Since this is about a parameter that shouldn't affect how `pandoc` actually runs, its absence also shouldn't have any significant negative effects if you move this to a system where RStudio's configuration isn't set up in such a way.
