Bug Description
With the debian-installer it was possible to provide a tftp:// url for a basic preseed config to download via dhcp response options:

This doesn't seem possible in subiquity at the moment.
If it is, and I missed it, can someone please point me at the docs?
If not, can this feature be added? It would be particularly useful in a cloud-init nocloud setup for as a preseeding replacement for local network auto-installers.
Thanks!

This is not possible today, afaik. TBH, I'm not entirely sure I see the advantage -- it means you don't have to run a http server as well as a tftp server I guess? If that's the case I suppose we could teach cloud-init to handle tftp seed URLs (I also don't see how passing the filename to download via DHCP is useful in a netboot when you control the kernel command line to the booting system anyway but perhaps I'm being dense)
