Description of the new feature / enhancement
Hello, please add the ability to list and install old versions of Microsoft Store packages, there are many reasons on one may need to use an older version of an MS Store package, to combat a bug in a newer version, to use removed features, or a business wanting to only use certified versions of software. This is a Microsoft Store API problem, meaning Microsoft Store APIs only allow you to download the latest version, and a few other for some packages, but both WinGet and Microsoft Store API needs to support downloading any old version of an app. The only way to access old versions of an app as of now is to get in contact with someone with the version you want of the app dumping it, and manually installing it, or downloading the package from an open source release if it is open source. Other than that there is NO way to obtain the older versions of MS Store packaged, which is really inconvenient. WinGet would be the perfect place to have older versions of apps downloadable, as opposed to the Microsoft Store GUI.
