Hi, I was trying out making HDAs from Houdini using AYON and noticed that making an HDA in object level is very easy but didn’t find a way to make an HDA from SOP context which in my experience usually is what you want, am I missing something or is this capability not yet implemented?

### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing iss… ues.
### Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?
It seems that HDA publishing only works from `/obj` or at least from object level. Publishing a network in `/obj/geo1` seems to fail for one of our artists and reading the documentation he's not sure why. It doesn't mention anything about only being able to publish object level networks.
Here are the errors and [documentation](https://openpype.io/docs/artist_hosts_houdini#publishing-houdini-digital-assets-hda):
### How would you imagine the implementation of the feature?
Allow any subnet to be published as HDA maybe, like e.g. from `SOPs` context? Or at least improve the documentation to explain from where you are able to generate an HDA and improve the error message too.
It also feels slightly weird maybe that it's failing during Create?
### Are there any labels you wish to add?
- [X] I have added the relevant labels to the enhancement request.
