Need section on how to share multiformat branding between Quarto projects

Description

Using the multiformat branding section of the Quarto docs together with the brand-yml docs, I have been able to put together a company branding that I am happy with.

The next step is to share that branding with other projects, and I find the documentation lacking in this regard. My intuition tells me it could be achieved with a Quarto extension (which one?), instead of redundant copy-pasting, but the bridge between these 2 sections is not an easy cross.

I believe a "Sharing brand" section (echoing the "Applying brand" one) would be very welcome. Unless I missed something else, which is quite possible.

Cheers.

There is no documentation because there is no straight way for that right now.
I can't find it now but there is an issue/discussion about that already.

For short, use format-resources, project resources or use quarto extension to package the file then call it:

brand:
  light: _extensions/myorg/assets/brand/light.yml
  dark: _extensions/myorg/assets/brand/dark.yml
