Two suggestions for a 2.0 release

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hello!
I noticed @denelon is asking for ideas that might justify a version bump to 2.0.
I hope the following two suggestions haven't been discussed and dismisses or approved yet, at least I could not find anything.

1. Implement aliasses for existing store apps. Instead of letting users search for a cryptic ID and then use this in winget
2. Change policy to allow certain selected installers to be downloaded from individually approved "foreign" sources.

Proposed technical implementation details

1. Expland the current manifest-scheme with fields that a "normal" winget-manifest can point to a store app (ID or whatever) and thus enable winget to handle it like any other programme.

2. This would require a policy change. I have tried to start a discussion without much feedback here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/discussions/97158

Start by reviewing the current manifest scheme and the policy governing installer sources, then read the linked winget-pkgs discussion for existing context. The work would need agreed requirements and acceptance criteria for both store-app aliases and individually approved foreign sources before implementation could be considered done.
