Create a file and link as an object in word ?

Description

I am not entirely sure this is generally a good idea. But people around me are used to add an xlsx file within a word document when the tables get too big, sometimes the xlsx has multiple sheets. So here I am: say you are using quarto trough a Jupyter notebook in vscode. Would there be a way to create an xlsx from a pandas dataframe and link it as an object in the word document ?

You need to figure out the OpenXML code to do that. Then you can inject it using raw code block.

Mmmh I can only find guide requiring going trough a C# API. Not sure this is the right path.

I don't think so... Unfortunately, I don't think this is something that can be done outside of Office tools.
