Is it possible to provide a dependent port list from the vcpkg commandline?

I need this for following scenario (https://github.com/username_0/vcpkgbintray.git)
1. I am currently supporting uploading and downloading of vcpkg binary to bintray with the conan.
so I used vcpkg and conan as major component.
2. I used vcpkg as manufactured and conan as transporter.
2. I called vcpkg to build any port with triplet.
3. I call conan to upload my generated package to bintray.
4. I didn't use vcpkg export command for exporting the specific port. instead I just read each ports dependencies from its control file and upload each dependent port separately by using its binaries from package folder.
5. with this approach , I am able to treat each individual port as independent.
6. example if I am going to upload opencv which has ffmpeg , libpng etc as dependent port , I do the following:
a.. I am calling vcpkg install opencv:x64-windows
b. I am read opencv control file and also read control file of its depenent port. so that can collect all the dependent ports.
c. I compress the binraries of libpng:x64-windows and libpng:x64-windows and opencv:x64-windows from package folder individually.
d. I am uploading these compressed libpng:x64-windows and libpng:x64-windows and opencv:x64-windows separately and along with their dependent port in a text file.
so if any user want to work on ffmpeg alone , he can download ffmpeg from the server and also if any user want opencv:x64-windos , the depenent text will be downloaded first and based on the dependent port list repspective package will be downloaded (opencv:x64, libpng:x64-windows,ffmpeg:x64-windows.

So the point is -:
- currently freature tag is supported in control.
- so it is very difficult with port is dependent.
- and reading control file manually is not good option .

@ras0219-msft can you provide your insight on this. 
(note: please forget my python implementation . it might look terrible to you)
provide command line options to see the dependent port of the current port
