Install packages delivered as a compressed installer
Some publishers provide a compressed file with an installer inside. This feature would enable a user to install such a package.
For example: microsoft/winget-pkgs#9891 (comment)
The manifest would need to be able to identify this type of installer. The client would be able to download the file, verify the file, extract the installer, and execute the installer.
There is also an edge case when publisher packs installer in folder inside zip file.
MSIAfterburner from msi.com, for example, has this structure: MSIAfterburnerSetup.zip\4.6.3\MSIAfterburnerSetup463.exe

Not a duplicate, since this is concerning an installable executable inside a zip rather than one you can just run.
