Description

I think it is related to a PR 175 and especially a discussion here

QES use-case in LSP POTENTIAL has a use-case where they want to do two consecutive requests that need to end up in the same wallet (can be two openid4vp requests of openid4vp and siopv2).

The original thinking was the user enters their mobile number on a webpage and then the wallet gets a notification and the user continues there. which is possible and can happen outside the protocol steps, but it does not solve the problem of "the same wallet" since there is no deeplink for the second openid4vp/siopv2 request that will guarantee the same wallet as in step 1 will open.

One way to really solve this problem could be, in the response to the first request, return wallet's deeplink, that can be used to formulate a second request, targeting it to a specific wallet. Is this feasible? has anyone faced similar questions?

Research direction

Start with this issue and the linked PR 175 discussion, focusing on how consecutive OpenID4VP or SIOPv2 requests are launched and whether the first response can provide a wallet deeplink. Done means the feasibility and protocol behavior are resolved, with an agreed specification change or a documented reason not to pursue it.
