Description
It may be useful to have a way to automatically assign address to a newly captured point (reverse geocoding), using an existing geocoding service.
QGIS already has geocoder API available, but no implementation supporting reverse geocoding. Also, there is a missing link between the geocoder API and how it could be used in forms (e.g. a function for expressions)

Research direction
Start by reading the QGIS geocoder API and the existing mobile form and expression integration points. Determine how a newly captured point could trigger reverse geocoding and how the returned address could be exposed to forms. Done means reverse geocoding works through an existing service and its result is usable in form expressions.
