Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Distributing python packages to air-gapped systems where pypi is not available.
Describe the solution you'd like
To allow using Salt as a repository for python packages, similar to how pkg.installed can be used.
pygit2:
pip.installed:
- name: salt://wheels/pygit2-1.10.1-cp38_amd64.whl
or possibly a separate argument.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using a separate file states to first push the packages to the minion.

Research direction
Start by reading the pip.installed and pkg.installed entry points and the related issue #62751, focusing on how salt:// sources are handled. Define whether this uses an argument or a separate mechanism, then verify that the example wheel can be obtained from Salt and installed on an air-gapped minion with suitable tests.
