Labels for numbered examples in AST

Labels for numbered examples in AST

Hi all,

Are there any plans to make the label in numbered examples (e.g., the label 
in "(@label)") accessible somehow in the AST?

I ask this because I've written a lua filter for linguistic examples (as 
described in https://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/pdf/Glossing-Rules.pdf) which 
converts a specific markdown syntax based on numbered examples to a syntax 
used in gb4e (https://ctan.org/pkg/gb4e?lang=en), a popular latex package 
for linguists, when converting to pdf. The markdown syntax looks like 
(setting aside some glossing specific syntax): (@) <#label> example text

The lua filter and syntax for markdown work fine, but ideally this filter 
could be written with the usual (@label) syntax. This would require that 
the "label" there would be retrievable in the AST. Unfortunately, the label 
string looks like it gets lost at the reader step.

My apologies if this has been brought up before, I searched this and github 
but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!
Gunnar

There's not currently a good way to do this, sorry.
