Mods Request

Is there a way to trigger mods prior to the execution ?

the though process here is to pop a toast notification for some applications prior to install to allow the user to delay the install.

Hello @temeyers! The custom (mods) feature is somewhat my responsibility/idea so I'm writing this first reply. The foremost use of it is via https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install and it can be used to run your own powershell scripts placed in the mods folder (AppId + "-install-once", "-install", "-upgrade" or "-uninstall") It doesn't integrate in the installation/uninstallation at all but waits until the installation/upgrade have been marked successful. The reason it is integrated in WAU is because some standard upgrades overwrites the modifications done (reg/file) for an application.

This proposal of yours could be an integration of some sort of delay/cancel of the installations in the WAU toast notification itself, and that's another thing (if you're showing the notifications for the users)!

The custom (mods) feature could be expanded to include "-pre" and "-post" scripts too but one problem is that when the upgrade loop in WAU runs you can't pause the script (running in System context) and show something for the user to respond to. And a delay in that place would stop the loop from continuing the foreach looping through all the applications in need of an update...
