Right now it's not, see the nix documentation: "If a path in the Nix search path starts with http:// or https://, it is interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be downloaded and unpacked to a temporary location. The tarball must consist of a single top-level directory." Also note that NIX_PATH (which is used with -I) might not be appropriate for your use case, as it's explicitly documented as a list of directories. Maybe you can just use a separate argument and use `builtins.readFile`, `builtins.fetchurl` or similar?
