RMarkdown officedown placing two figures next to each other

I would like to place two figures next to each other. It should not be combined into one image or plot, because then I cannot do two separate captions.

Right now it is as follows:

I would like to achieve

Here is my code

title: "Untitled"
author: ""
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
output:

I tried the suggestion for html which is not working in officedown, see https://forum.posit.co/t/how-to-stack-two-images-horizontally-in-r-markdown/18941

Very similar solution to this question - the same method appears to work well with ggplots. Use the multicol section tags build into officedown, as documented here. See the top and the bottom of the code block below.

<!---BLOCK_MULTICOL_START--->

```{r}
#| echo = FALSE,
#| fig.cap = "Plot 1",
#| fig.width = 2,
#| fig.height = 2

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(tibble::tibble(x = 1:10, y = 1:10), aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_line()
```
```{r}
#| echo = FALSE,
#| fig.cap = "Plot 2",
#| fig.width = 2,
#| fig.height = 2

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(tibble::tibble(x = 10:1, y = 10:1), aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_line()
```

<!---BLOCK_MULTICOL_STOP{widths: [3,3], space: 0.2, sep: false}--->
