Are there any working examples of Bootstrapping SQL Express 2019 from WiX?

Google found a few examples of installing earlier SQL versions (e.g.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18930854/bootstrapping-sql-express-from-wix),
however with SQL 2019, Microsoft only makes the latest version directly
downloadable via SQL2019-SSEI-Expr.exe (
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866658).

>From the SQL2019-SSEI-Expr command line, it can download and install SQL
using a config file:
SQL2019-SSEI-Expr.exe /IAcceptSqlServerLicenseTerms /Quiet
/ConfigurationFile="SQL2019ExpressConfig.ini"

Anyway, I'm looking for an example of how that is all put together in WiX,
including how to download the latest SQL2019-SSEI-Expr.exe, similar to how
it works for NetFx48Web (the .NET 4.8 download & install) in NetFx48.wxs?

Thanks!
