Find installed packages dependent on Package X #6247

WinGet CLI

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Suppose I see I have Package X installed. I start wondering if I can do without it. So I want to know what depends on Package X that I have installed. But winget.exe doesn't appear to expose that information.

Proposed technical implementation details

This might be implemented as winget depends <package-name>. It'd error out if <package-name> isn't installed. Only installed packages dependent on <package-name> are considered.
