depending on where and what you need, you can do something like this in a GEXP
context:
(define (upstream-file relative-path)
(let ((git-origin
(let ((commit "v0.13.2"))
(origin
(method git-fetch)
(uri (git-reference
(url ...)
(commit commit)))
(file-name (git-file-name "foo-bar" commit))
(sha256
(base32 ...))))))
(file-append git-origin relative-path)))
#~(let ((x #$(upstream-file "/some-path"))) ...)
this way the versioning of the two packages are not tied together, which may or
may not be what you want from a semantics perspective.
