How do you show a hyperlink on a web page? Maybe underline it, make it a different color etc. So far so 1990s.

How about an option to show it as a QR Code? Perhaps by just by setting an attribute on the element? You can click it, or you can open the link on another device.

That can help jump from a checkout screen on your laptop to a payment system on your phone or simply sharing content from one device to others. Maybe it's a DID, a GS1 product identifier, a DOI, a vCard, a location, a Verifiable Credential.

And if the QR Code is generated in real time in the browser, it's possible to do things like add one-time tokens and other security features that cannot be effectively added in printed symbols.

This session is an early exploration of the idea. Please come and share your thoughts.
