This is impossible to do because app installer isn't writing version number of package to registry. And because it uses some exotic installer it's going to be quite hard to detect version number of package from file metadata once https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/3134 is finished. Because winget would need to start the app to see where is the executable located to detect version number from executable metadata.

@krystofkrticka and couldn't we report this upstream as in https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/88994?

[krystofkrticka]

Well the issue here is that this package does not have constant install path as is shown in example with WinDirStat. Because this installer is creating new directory every time it downloads and update and path to this apps executable looks like this: C:\ProgramData\0install.net\implementations\sha256new_UWNGXVK6DRTTECOLMXJSJBKPLJSVPF4RLJDWUUYVXIU4S6CAUU7A and since it uses sha256 in it's path it'll change every update.

Either way, it's an issue with the way the installer was designed and, at this time, there isn’t anything Winget can do to correct it
