Referencing subfigure counters directly #37
Description
Hi,
a small feature that I think would be great (and similar to this issue) would be being able to refer to the subfigure counter of a figure directly. When using subfigures, what I do a lot is writing text like "As we can see in panel (a) of Figure 1, .... Conversely, panel (b) shows that ..."
Of course, the user can define a function to achieve this with only a few lines of code. But doing so does require going into the subpar source code to identify the correct counter. If there was a way to do this out of the box, this could be quite helpful, especially for beginners.
Quick and dirty, I was thinking of a function like this, although there surely are more elegant ways to implement this:
#let subref(label, numbering-sub: "(a)") = context {
let count = counter("__subpar:sub-figure-counter").at(label).at(0) + 1
link(label, numbering(numbering-sub, count))
}
