possibility to "namespace" distribution source?

[ijlyttle]

I've gone through the documentation, and I confess that I can't think of a clean way that this could be done, but I'll make the wish anyway.

Following this example from the Distributing Extensions page, let's say we make the "shorty" extension available using:

quarto add https://artifactory-repository.acme.com/long-name-that-ends-with-quarto/shorty.zip

Could there be a way to add some custom configuration to Quarto such that something like:

quarto add acme::shorty

could do the same thing?

This could be useful for institutional extensions made available only inside the institution.

Perhaps some sort of user configuration to facilitate the interpolation of a name into a URL, e.g.:

acme:: -> https://artifactory-repository.acme.com/long-name-that-ends-with-quarto/{name}.zip

Could something like this be possible?

Thanks!
