I didn't expect the whole process but I meant would it write that file if I installed an editable wheel?

installer is unaware of editable/non-editable wheels, so no

Uhhh, installer takes arbitrary files to install in the core install function.

See additional_metadata. You'll have to supply the file's contents and installer will plumb that through. You don't need a custom wheel source or wheel destination for adding a direct_url.json file.
