In the case of rstan, the community has created an independent repository. This because CRAN had been challenging to develop for (for them).

For example

install.packages("rstan", repos = c("https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", getOption("repos")))

Can I use remotes to link to https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/ from the DESCRIPTION of my package?

You should be able to add that URL to the Additional_repositories: and it should pick it up.
