I don’t think that would work. The pressure on the two sides of the leak will eventually equalize if the water can’t escape. Your cling wrap probably can’t contain that pressure. If you can’t turn the faucet on full blast and have the wrap stay, it won’t be able to contain the leak either.

Yeah, a leaking pipe is essentially full pressure, just a low flow rate. It will only last until the void fills with water and then it will pressurize to the line's pressure.
