Can I get a direct download link for a MacOS App Store app?

I want to deploy the Microsoft Universal Print app to our Macbook users via MDM (specifically Microsoft Intune). This isn't possible normally because Intune doesn't support MacOS App Store apps and Microsoft haven't made a PKG or DMG file available yet. We're talking deploying to 500 users, so the more automated we can make this, the better. On Windows (with an unrelated app for an unrelated issue) I was able to get a direct download URL. That is, the file that the Microsoft Store would download in the background when I would click on "Get". I'm looking for a similar direct download URL for the Universal Print so I can package it up and deploy it via MDM, but I'm not having any luck. Is there a way to get a direct download URL of an app from the MacOS App Store, short of installing Wireshark and sniffing traffic that way?
