Description
This idea was already considered by others but with one more important feature: being universal for various node applications (electrum server, bitcoind...), not just LND. Here's some discussion https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Airgapped-Wallet-Community/discussions/33 sadly, that one received little feedback.
I still wonder if we could make this universal because I don't want to require users of my repository to pair every single application manually. It'd be much better to pair once and then just use all apps within same device.
Note that I intend to do something universal anyway - the value of it is just too high. I'm mainly seeking collaboration hoping that together we could do something better than everyone doing their own.

Research direction
Start by reading this issue and the linked Airgapped Wallet Community discussion. Identify the existing protocol assumptions that limit support to LND and compare the needs of Electrum servers, bitcoind, and other node applications. Done would require an agreed universal pairing design and collaboration plan; no implementation files or tests are named.
