All authoring environments have support for that.
(If not, it is trivial to add a Makefile.)

The more interesting aspect is painlessly retrieving the components (attachments, sourcecode, diagrams) out of the drafts and RFCs, and a URL naming convention would help with that.

I offer the naming convention provided by kramdown-rfc-extract-sourcecode.
(Which has been extended for the next version by making use of slugified names instead of counting unnamed components.)

This could lead to:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9334/svg/layered-attester.svg
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9334/ascii-art/layered-attester.ascii-art
