You’d have to do it via your own custom action.  What is your scenario?  In general you should avoid custom actions because it’s very difficult to write one properly/securely.

I see, so say I want to use temporary files during install as part of a custom action, but don’t want the files to be on the system after execution.  Is there a built in way to do this?  Or do I have to make my own custom action and perform its own extraction and cleanup?

No. MSI extracts the files only for the duration of the custom action call.
