Alternatively maybe some sort of approach similar to systemd-ask-password could be used where it is possible to call a command to get the prompt to your current terminal even if the automatic prompting is happening somewhere else?

There is the `wall` implementation. `systemd-tty-ask-password-agent` is not polkit-enabled to answer system requests as a user though. See https://github.com/systemd/systemd-ui/pull/7 for updating a simple GUI agent to modernity. A TTY agent would be nice to have too.
