Description

### Feature request

Allow for anonymized viewing of datasets. For instance, something similar to [Anonymous GitHub](https://anonymous.4open.science/).

### Motivation

We generally publish our data through Hugging Face. This has worked out very well as it's both our repository and archive (thanks to the DOI feature!). However, we have an increasing challenge when it comes to sharing our datasets for paper (both conference and journal) submissions. Due to the need to share data anonymously, we can't use the Hugging Face URLs, but datasets tend to be too large for inclusion as a zip. Being able to have an anonymous link would be great since we can't be double-publishing the data.

### Your contribution

Sorry, I don't have a contribution to make to the implementation of this. Perhaps it would be possible to work off the [Anonymous GitHub](https://github.com/tdurieux/anonymous_github) code to generate something analogous with pointers to the data still on Hugging Face's servers (instead of the duplication of data required for the GitHub version)?
