Is it possible to split the steps in 2 ?

Hi,

i'd like to know if it's possible to run only some steps when running semantic-release ?

Let me clarify with an example:

• If a release happens, i need to build specific artifacts for specific OSes. Those would run in different jobs in Github Action, using a different OS.
• I don't want to build those artifacts all the time, only when a release happens, so i need to have semantic-release ran before to make sure a release would happen.
• I need the new version number for those jobs also, as this is required in the packaging.
• The packaging is done on specific OS, but not the actual release.

I would need to be able to run something like that:

                                     ┌───────────────┐
                                     │ package win   ├───────────────┐
                                     └─▲─────────────┘               │
                                       │                             │
┌────────┐     ┌─────────────────┬─────┘                           ┌─▼──────────────┐
│        │     │                 │        ┌───────────────┐        │                │
│  test  ├────►│ release prepare ├────────►package linux  ├────────► release publish│
│        │     │                 │        └───────────────┘        │                │
└────────┘     └─────────────────┴─────┐                           └─▲──────────────┘
                                       │                             │
                                     ┌─▼────────────┐                │
                                     │package macos ├────────────────┘
                                     └──────────────┘

Is it possible to run only specific steps of the release flow, cache the previous steps state, and execute the last steps afterwards ?
