Describe the improvement

I use UniGetUI to install and maintain the app yt-dlp through winget. When there is a new version, the update fails and I need to manually run "Uninstall + ReInstall" to update the app. I checked and didn't see an option to "UnInstall + ReInstall" until the packages Install Options and think it would be a good option to have.

Describe how this improvement could help users

I don't know if updating the yt-dlp is an isolated issue, but being able to custom select "uninstall + reinstall" per app might be very helpful for anybody else trying to automatically update apps.

If you right-click a package, you have the option there. Is this what you are looking for?

I already use the uninstall --> reinstall option, but I see the option isn't in the package's install options. I think this would help with auto installing all the updates without manually having to right-click on the one package that fails.

if possible add a --skip-dependencies button with one click in UniGetUI to solve yt-dlp and ffmpeg problems in winget https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/181353

@candrapersada, you can use custom parameters to fix this
