Enhance aem-upload library to accept sourceUrls instead of current local filePath and blob only.

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Enhance aem-upload library to accept sourceUrls instead of current local filePath and blob only.
Use-case: After Adobe deprecated the legacy Asset Upload APIs the alternate solution suggested was Open-sourced upload library aem-upload. Unfortunately alternate solution is NOT fully ready. The library allows only local filePath and blob to be uploaded. Does allow external sourceUrls. This was possible with previous AssetManager API which is now deprecated.   
Current/Experienced Behavior: aem-upload does not allow sourceUrl as input
Improved/Expected Behavior: aem-upload must allow external https sourceUrl as input and must automatically download and upload into AEM.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): AEMaaCS
Customer-name/Organization name: SGWS
Screenshot (if applicable):  
Code package (if applicable):

Hi @kartheekd203042, adobe is providing even better solution. I took an expert session as part of my org, and they showed a new Experimental Asset API. It takes url as input, runs asset-upload APIs and guarantees to upload asset. This is not released for public yet. Expected by early march. Will ping documentation once this becomes live.

Thanks @sarav_prakash  for the information provided.

I think it might be this one but will await further announcement.
