@itowlson - do we have docs queued up for this feature? #2524. Based on the PR, I'm not sur eI know how to use it :-)

I am wondering if we should pull the docs though. The publish workflow is distinctly early-stage, and people trying to use registry packages by "what seems obvious" are likely to get themselves burned. It will be more useful once there are pre-published components in registries that people can Just Use.

In combination with this feature: #2479 - which I got working 🙌🏻 it would be nice to showcase, at least in a release blog, how we're making Spin simply work with Wasm components. Thoughts?

A follow-up on #2479, will this work with any component exporting any handler supported by the Spin installation (including plugins)?

We don't currently have a way to determine which trigger type to use. We've discussed in the past adding a spin up --trigger-type <type> flag for the purpose of running only one of an app's trigger types; that could be reused for this purpose as well.

Tracked: #2585
