Given the XPS 13 is essentially a "closed" system, if you managed to add those items then I assume your options with the intentionally "open" Framework laptop would be greater still.
This article seems to go into some details and has pictures:

Key quote:
"We’ve designed the thermal system in the Framework Laptop to handle 28W continuous processor load. By making space for an unusually large 65mmx5.5mm cooling fan and carefully designing our airflow paths, we’ve done this without sacrificing quietness. Our dual 5mm heatpipes and copper fin pack allows the CPU to run up to 60W turbo."
