Hi John, I agree that this feature would be a good one to have. In fact, ideally, it would already be implemented. Unfortunately, there is a problem in that I don't know how to implement this.
I think you would have to find a way for the project to tunnel through the browser and hope that it picks up the identity of the user there. Theoretically, this should work, but I don't really have time to figure it out. Peace and Luck!
