How can I add a pypi dependency to a pixi global environment?

[psobolewskiPhD]

I'm trying to find the easiest way to give an end user access to a CLI tool that is available on conda-forge and has as conda-forge dependency, but also has a plugin that is only on PyPI (I'm working on changing that, but for the time being it is what it is).

With pixi global install, I can install the CLI tool, which is outstanding and much nicer than them having to use conda and envs, but I can't sort out how to add the pypi plugin dependency. (With conda envs I can activate the env and pip install the plugin.)
I was hoping something like this would work:
pixi global install omero-py --with --pypi omero-cli-transfer

Meanwhile, using something like pipx/uv alone doesn't work, because the pypi plugin dependency requires the CLI tool, which has a compiled conda-forge dependency.
