Windows Store applications on CrossOver?

Id like to give the Windows Phone Link a try on Debian 12 with Crossover, but theres no way I can see to even download an msi/exe for it. The MS nstuctions are simply:

How to install Phone Link if it's not already installed on your PC
Phone Link will be available by default on most PCs running Windows 10 or Windows 11. If it is not installed, you can install it through the Settings on your PC. After installation, your Phone Link will receive regular updates.

To install it on your Windows 10 PC:

Open Settings on your PC

Search for Phone Link

Select Enable or disable Phone Link

Turn on the toggle for Turn on Phone Link

A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to click on Install to add Phone Link to your PC.

Is this just not possible or is there some workaround in order to find an installer?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there's no way to run Windows Store applications in CrossOver.

Best,
Meredith
