Conditional handling of department

[nithinmkp]

This is more than a feature request than a issue. When we also specify department in author affiliation, rather than giving the department also in name, it would be nice if we can conditionally write that as an affiliation like in LaTeX. Else, it casues spacing issue

a MWE is as follows

project:
  type: manuscript

manuscript:
  article: main.qmd

format:
     pdf: default
     docx:
       number-sections: true
       reference-doc: custom-reference-doc.docx
       
filters:
  - authors-block                     
papersize: a4
execute:
  freeze: true
```
````{=qmd}
title: "A Brilliant idea"
author: 
  - name: Author1
    affiliations:
      - id: kgp
        number: 1
        name: Some institute
        department: weird department
    corresponding: true
    email: author@gmail.com
  - name: awesome author
    affiliations:
      - ref: kgp
  - name: boring author
    affiliations:
      - id: kanp
        number: 2
        name: nice institute
        department: Department of awesome engineering

Thanks for this suggestion. Quite a while ago, I tried already to figure this out, however, this was kind of tricky in the lua code, which is why I decided to stick with the currently working version.
If someone out there has an idea, how to get this working and simulaneously supporting also the current api, any help is appreciated.
