Download a single file from depot manifest?

[i drive]

Title, I'm looking for a way to download a single/few specific files from a depot manifest.
For example, let's say I just want to download all the .vpk files from the /portal/ directory in the portal content depot: https://steamdb.info/depot/401/

How would I go about doing that?

I know that it is possible, because Steam Depot Downloader https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader has that exact feature with -filelist launch parameter:

  -filelist <file.txt>   - a list of files to download (from the manifest).
                           Can optionally use regex to download only certain files.

But is it possible to do directly from the steamcmd?

I don't have much experience with steamcmd, but I know you can download specific packages by using the steam:// in your browser.

For instance steam://401

Not sure if this will help you ;D

I'm not looking for entire packages/depots. I can do that already with download_depot. I'm looking for a way to download single files from depots.

I've looked around on Valve's documentation for steamcmd:
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Downloading_an_app

You might be able to build some scripted solution over it, but it doesn't seem to have an option for that on its own...
