How do I label a section of a list in typst, for example labeling the first 3 elements of a list with "These are the first 3 list elements"? I would like the label to be shown on the right of the list elements, without interrupting the list contents. I would also like the label to show which list elements it is labeling using a symbol in the shape of the } character. Thanks in advanced.

in general for anything about list formatting, the package itemize is potentially a better starting point than the regular list, because it exposes more layout details. But it doesn't do this out of the box
