Yes, this appears to me covering your use case for hidden packages.
Well, I even missed it in my previous message [1]. :-)

So I still miss what is the use case.  For instance,

    guix package -e '(@@ (gnu packages rust) rust-1.65)'

works and all the transformation options are also available in “guix
package”.  Therefore, in the command line,

    guix package -i $(guix build …)

I miss what the … (dots) could be that cannot be expressed without “guix
build”.  Maybe cross-compiled packages with --system or --target?
