[Python] How do I specify a pip-installed, editable dependency in a conda environment YAML...

I'm developing a python package in a conda environment defined by a YAML environment file. my question is: is there a way to specify this local package as an editable, pip-installed dependency in the YAML file?

my conda env YAML file looks something like as follows (env files documented here):

name: ...
channels:
- conda-forge
- defaults
dependencies:
- <packages on conda-forge>
- pip:
- <packages on PyPI>
- git+https://github.com/<some packages on github>


currently, i first create this env with conda env create -n env.yml and then manually install the package with pip install --no-build-isolation --editable ..

i'm wondering if it's possible to add an entry under - pip: for my package in the environment file. i've searched the documentation and can't find anything on whether or how this is possible. any help appreciated!
