We are careful to give a link to source data in the documentation for each class.

Could we add a public field which would give a short plain text attribution credit for each data source?

My use case would be in something like my covidregionaldatagraphs project where I programmatically generate a set of graphs for each of our regional data sources. It would be handy if the caption on the graphs could read "Data: X, sourced through the covidregionaldata package", where currently it reads "Data sourced through the covidregionaldata package"

I know there would be temptation to make this into an URL but that would lead to problems where an URL may not be clickable or useful in some cases (e.g., on a PNG).

Ok. I may try pulling together a PR, which might also look at #316, at least in part.
