HI,

I would like to link/download external file - i.e. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-cli/dev/az.completion - locally, to use in completions.

What would be best way to do it ?

A couple options:

If you always want the latest one, you can add a shell: command and use wget or another tool to download it.
You can copy it to your local repository, and then link it with link:.
You can clone that as a submodule, and then link it with link:. It might be slightly easier to keep it up-to-date this way.
