There is some discussion on the Quarto guide about how to use various environments from R or Python. Right now, it seems that in order to use Julia code blocks I must keep any packages that I want to use in my global/default environment, rather than project specific ones. In Julia, this done by having a `Project.toml` file for the project (and perhaps a `Manifest.toml` also but not always needed).

When starting Julia you can call `julia --project=Project.toml` if it is in the current directory or you can start Julia normally and from the REPL type `]` and then `activate .`
```julia
] activate .
```
or you can write
```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.activate(".")
```

I know that the last option would work if I added it to a (each?) code block, but is there a way to just add something to the `quarto.yml` file instead to use a `Project.toml` file for the whole project?
