Research direction

Start by reviewing the Addons repositoryโ€™s addon index and the linked freecad.gencad repository, especially cadomatic/pyproject.toml. Compare its settings-menu package installation approach with the current Allowed-Packages handling. Done means determining whether this installation model can be represented and documenting the required integration or constraints.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Hello I want to add my addon but it has different python package installation system. 
Packages are installed via the addโ€‘onโ€™s settings menu from package list in 
https://github.com/drfenixion/freecad.gencad/blob/main/cadomatic/pyproject.toml.

Also packages are specific to AI and not in Allowed-Packages.

Is it posible to persist that addon installation system and be added to Addons?
