Hi,
This is already possible, you simply need to share your package via a git repo and then import it into your integration project. Please refer to this article as an example.

If you have an questions, either post here or better still post your question on the article.
regards,
John.
To add a bit more information to the request, I have been asked to do a POC to see how difficult it would be to move some of our self-hosted integrations to edge servers so that we can take advantage of some of the IPaaS features, but continue to run our integrations close to our data sources.
I have managed to set up an Edge running in a Google VM, and as a first step, I wanted to run a very simple service just to test that I could deploy it on the edge.
I already had some simple services that I had written on the IPaaS that I thought I could use to test this as a first step.
To my surprise, I had to rekey the code line by line. I could not even cut and paste.
This makes the edge unusable for us, as we planned to reuse existing code; the idea of rekeying code is just too time-consuming and error-prone to be in any way useful.
As I see it, the product is only useful for brand-new integrations. We have thousands of already existing services written, and the appeal of using edge was that we could reuse some of our existing code base.
If we have to rekey everything, then there is no advantage to sticking with webMethods.
