Nuget "Install-Package" integration?

Sorry if I'm completely missing the point, but I've just discovered SourceLink and I'm quite excited about having a way to finally have sources along with my dependencies.

But the thing I'm a bit worried about is that this project seems to be very focused on the debugging use-case. But how about reusing all you have done for a new use-case? Dependency-retreival at development time. This boils down to downloading sources, instead of binaries, when adding nuget dependencies to a project, at development time.

Feel free to close this as out of scope but, I had to ask.

Thanks

Yeah, this project is just tooling to help enable source link functionality. It is pretty limited in scope. Source link information could definitely be used by code editors to retrieve the source while coding too. This was done with source index info by Resharper and F# Power Tools in the past. It should be doable with source link info too. In any case, happy to talk about it here, but these tools are more limited in scope.
