Install package provided from URL as `.tar.gz`

Some sites like https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/pkg.pr.new provide packages as tarballs. How can these be installed in a deno project?

With npm, we can simply run

npm i https://pkg.pr.new/<owner>/<repo>/<npm-package-name>@<pr-id>

npm i https://pkg.pr.new/<owner>/<repo>/<npm-package-name>@<pr-id>

and the PR branch version of the package will be installed. Does deno have a way of handling this?

That's something we should support in Deno too. Can you file an issue for that here https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues ?
