Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
An way to import exported winget JSON data via a full URL (eg: GitHub, GitLab, etc)
Example URL: https://github.com/Dev-CasperTheGhost/dotfiles/blob/main/ms/winget-exports.json
Having a way to import it via a URL can be a lot easier then having to first download the file, and makes it a bit handier 😄
may be a dup of #1063?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing winget JSON import/export command and its input handling; confirm how a full GitHub or GitLab URL should be fetched and parsed. Done means exported JSON can be imported directly from a URL, with appropriate errors for inaccessible or invalid data.
