Hello,

I would like to know if the Docx reader can be extended.

Few months ago, I created these two issues:
- https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8057 - Keep columns information 
during the conversion
- https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8054 - Keep landscape information 
during the conversion

The support of keeping landscape from docx to markdown was legitimately 
closed because there is a mention in the manual (
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#description) that
> Because pandoc’s intermediate representation of a document is less 
expressive than many of the formats it converts between, one should not 
expect perfect conversions between every format and every other. Pandoc 
attempts to preserve the structural elements of a document, but not 
formatting details such as margin size.

For my use case, I need to keep landscape and columns information when 
converting from docx to markdown. My team doesn't work directly on markdown 
files.

As it's not something that Pandoc could add currently, I want to try to 
extend the Docx Reader to handle implement the handling of Landscape and 
Columns.

If it’s possible, can someone give me an example of implementation I could 
rely on?
If it's not possible, is it something that could be implemented as new 
feature (The feature would be that Docx reader could be extended to handle 
more cases)

Regards,

Félix
