Sure! It's briefly covered in the Emacs-Guix info manual, in the 'Popup
Interface' section:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
So ‘M-x guix’ command provides a top-level popup interface for all
available guix commands. When you select an option, you’ll be prompted
for a value in the minibuffer. Many values have completions, so don’t
hesitate to press ‘<TAB>’ key. Multiple values (for example, packages
or lint checkers) should be separated by commas.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
A concrete example would look like:
1. Start Emacs
2. M-x guix
3. p
4. =i
5. emacs-helm,emacs-ivy ENT
You can tab-complete any package names entered at step 5. above.

You are right, it doesn't scale like this; one would have to resort
using 'guix package -A=some-regexp', calling `guix package -i' on each
element.

Neat! Thanks for sharing.
