Creating a new script tool with outside python packages

Question

Hello,

Is it possible to create a script tool to add to a toolbox with python packages not in the ArcPro interpreter? Such as geopandas?

Or Is it possible to link to an outside ArcPro python environment? I am using Arcpy, but also a few other packages that are not found within the ArcPro environment.

You can interact with AGOL maps using the ArcGIS API for Python. The arcgis package is pre-installed in Pro's default arcgispro-py3 environment.

I am trying to use a toolbox for an ArcOnline web map with some features not available in arcpy.

I have multiple projects, but one is to use the Census Data API in a toolbox and add that as a custom toolbox for downloading data. I guess if I am able to locally host a web map that could solve the issue? (if that is even possible).
