Is it possible to download old versions of applications using WinGet?

Is it possible to downgrade packages from the windows store, or at the very least, download them for inspection?

For the winget (Community Repository) source, yes it's possible. You can choose which version you want (as long as the version exists in the Community Repository) by passing --version <VERSION_NUMBER> to winget install.

For the msstore (Microsoft Store) source, it's not possible. This is because most publishers remove old versions from the Microsoft Store servers which means you're always going to install the latest available app version from Microsoft Store.

You may also run winget show <package> --versions to get the list of versions available in the repository.
