Install Quarto extensions globally
Is there a way to install Quarto extensions globally? If I follow the installation instruction from https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/managing.html and e.g. use ``` quarto add quarto-ext/fontawesome ``` to install an extension, I have to do this from the same folder as my current project is in and the extension will only be available for files in this folder. Is there a way to make them available to all projects, no matter in which folder they are saved? My current workaround is to copy the `_extensions` folder to a central location and then add a symlink to this folder every time I'd like to use one of the extensions in a project.
