I have a requirement to basically beable to 'tag' PIT restores as to hold for longer (and then later use the restore on demand), the only way i can think to do this is basically figure out a way to export the requested Point-in-Time restore to a bacpac and save it in Azure storage.

PIT restores as to hold for longer.
The Azure SQL Database service protects all databases with an automated backup system. These backups are retained for 7 days for Basic, 35 days for Standard and 35 days for Premium.
I can think to do this is basically figure out a way to export the requested Point-in-Time restore to a bacpac and save it in Azure storage.
These are two different approach. Either you restore a database from PIT or from bacpac file which is either stored in Azure Storage account or local machine.
You can't perform a Point-of-Time restore from bacpac file.
Refer Azure SQL Database Point in Time Restore and Export to a BACPAC file - Azure SQL Database to know more.
