Can check_installed() be used inside tryCatch()?

[yutannihilation]

I hoped the following code ignores all errors yet asks users to install noSuchPackage if it's not installed. Are there anyway to make this work? I guess the answer is probably no because check_installed() somehow uses the mechanism of tryCatch() behind the scene, but want to confirm (I read the code, but I couldn't understand what's happening).

tryCatch(
  rlang::check_installed("noSuchPackage"),
  error = \(e) invisible(NULL)
)

The context is we see this problem in ggplot2:

tidyverse/ggplot2#4845

We could add a fallback argument to complement action.

As discussed in the ggplot2 issue, we should not signal "error" condition in the restart mechanism of check_installed(). This way it will work in tryCatch() as expected.
