Description
It would be pretty cool, if the builds of ofborg would also be downloadable.
Then maintainers could get quite a lot more pull requests tested in shorter time.
If there would be a url where a expression with expression tarball could be downloaded,
then one could do something like (it should be also possible to provide an actual tarball url for github pull requests)
$ nix-shell 'https://gist.github.com/Mic92/93f65c4d42ac72c8d64397258cada90c/archive/0159f2d6894ea2928e0b05d6ee46349be81681d6.tar.gz' --command 'studio-link'

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how ofborg currently produces builds and how the example nix-shell expression tarball is obtained; define the cache URL, artifact format, and pull-request tarball behavior before implementation. Done means maintainers can download tested builds and use them through the described workflow.
