Can .envir be used to autolink exported functions in a not loaded package in cli_code()?

[olivroy]

cli::cli_code(format(pkgdown::check_pkgdown))

If package is not loaded

Note that as_pkgdown() is exported by pkgdown. So I was wondering if there was another solution to autolink as_pkgdown() than to load the package?

Using

cli::cli_code(format(pkgdown::check_pkgdown), .envir = environment(pkgdown::check_pkgdown))

doesn't solve it.

Or is there a way to temporarily load the package for cli code and unloading immediately?

After library(pkgdown), I get what I'd like

This is indeed not possible currently, and also hard to implement.
