Is there another solution that makes it possible to compile and
test a (future) visual component before installing it and with a
simple click-click action add it to the component library (even if
this involves waiting some minutes).
No. Not even Delphi has that. The property editors and component
registrations must be known to the visual environment.
It depends on how much IDE stuff the package needs.
Property Editors can be tested without the IDE by using the RTTI
controls.

Some IDE parts can be tested with the SimpleIDEIntf package
components/simpleideintf/simpleideintf.lpk. This package simulates a
simple IDE to allow testing IDE experts at command line. It fills
several objects and functions of the IDEIntf.
Experts and Component Editors need the whole IDE.
Properties (and I think component editors too) can also be tested with
the ObjectInspector example.
