Can't detect installed Microsoft Store Win32 (not UWP) apps by ID (example: PowerToys)

[o-l-a-v]

Brief description of your issue

Background

PowerToys is available in Microsoft Store as Win32 app, with ID XP89DCGQ3K6VLD.

I consider apps that has been submitted and allowed inside Microsoft Store to more safe to install, than what has been submitted to the winget-pkgs manifest. (Maybe that's a wrongful assumption, but that's not really the point here.) Thus I'd like to to use Microsoft Store ID rather than winget-pgks PackageIdentifier where possible.

Details

winget install XP89DCGQ3K6VLD works.

winget list XP89DCGQ3K6VLD and winget upgrade XP89DCGQ3K6VLD does not, winget says "No installed package found matching input criteria".

Instead one have to use winget list Microsoft.PowerToys and winget upgrade Microsoft.PowerToys.

This seems to be a gap in functionalitym or a not yet thought about scenario. Or is this intended behavior?

Steps to reproduce

Designed to be run from SYSTEM context, as I'm labbing on automating updates of applications from Intune.

#Requires -RunAsAdministrator

    .SYNOPSIS
        Testing limitations with Winget + Microsft Store apps that is not UWP.
#>


# Find winget-cli from SYSTEM context
$Winget = [string](
    '{0}\AppInstallerCLI.exe' -f (
        [System.IO.Directory]::GetDirectories(
            ('{0}\WindowsApps' -f $env:ProgramW6432),
            'Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_*x64*_8wekyb3d8bbwe'
        )
    )
)

# Check winget version
cmd /c ('"{0}" --version' -f $Winget)
cmd /c ('"{0}" --info' -f $Winget)

# Check for update
## Does not work
cmd /c ('"{0}" list --id XP89DCGQ3K6VLD' -f $Winget)
## Works
cmd /c ('"{0}" list --id Microsoft.PowerToys' -f $Winget)
cmd /c ('"{0}" upgrade' -f $Winget)

# Install
## Works
cmd /c ('"{0}" install --id XP89DCGQ3K6VLD --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements' -f $Winget)
cmd /c ('"{0}" install --id Microsoft.PowerToys --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements' -f $Winget)

# Update
## Does not work
cmd /c ('"{0}" upgrade --id XP89DCGQ3K6VLD --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements' -f $Winget)
## Works
cmd /c ('"{0}" upgrade --id Microsoft.PowerToys --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements' -f $Winget)

Expected behavior

Preferably Microsoft Store packages that is wrapped up Win32 installers should have a detection rule.

Actual behavior

No installed package found matching input criteria.

Environment
