That's an interesting point I hadn't considered. If the heat pump dryer is condensing water vapor and draining it via plumbing, and collecting lint in a filter, then there is no need to run an exhaust line through the exterior wall.

Yep, that's exactly what it does, and it's great. Ours technically supports drain line, a removable water tank, and conventional venting, but the drain line is so convenient I'm going to use it going forward in my next place even if there is a vent. So much less hassle to set up and maintain without lint building up.
