If you had to install an npm package by URL, instead of by registry name, would you mind? eg. $ npm install https://website.com/package.tgz $ yarn add https://website.com/package.tgz

How (or better, from where) are dependencies listed in the package.json then fetched? Does that still hit the registry, or does it try to resolve it from the domain given in the original package url, or do they need to be included in the tar itself?
It will basically download the tarballs, extract it, and use its package.json as a source of truth for its dependencies. So if it includes tarball URLs, then it will use those, semver ranges, it will hit the registry.
