Description
I wonder if it would be viable to give a parameter for advanced usages in this action. For example I need this exact setup as in the title.
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python38_d.lib'
We need a Python interpreter that is shipped with libpython and header files.
Since ever I need to download the Python setup and deinstall with it the same version from the CI just to install with the following command:
setup.exe /quiet Include_debug=1 Include_dev=1 Include_lib=1 Include_pip=1 PrependPath=1 CompileAll=1 InstallAllUsers=1 TargetDir=<workspace-dir>\Python38-x64-dbg\
Would be really cool to see such options here as well, so I (we?) can easily setup the Python installation for a build matrix for example.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the action's existing Python setup behavior and the linked setup-python context. Define how parameters would expose precompiled standard-library, debug, development, library, pip, and installation options. Done means the requested Python installation can be configured for a build matrix without manually running the Windows installer.
