Description
1Password recently added support for storing SSH keys in the password manager, using an included ssh agent that allows users to securely approve each request for the keys.
From what I understand from their docs though, it seems like Win32-OpenSSH is currently hardcoded to always use the default \\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent pipe and not respecting IdentityAgent values in .ssh/config which would allow users to use 1Password ssh-agent (and vault) for keys used in specific connections only.
Any plans to support this in the future?
Please correct me if I've misunderstood this. 😄

Research direction
Start by reading the linked 1Password SSH agent documentation and the .ssh/config handling for IdentityAgent. The issue names no source files or tests; done would mean supporting per-connection agent selection instead of always using the default OpenSSH agent pipe.
