how about users who are authenticating over http with basic and digest? How does one go about launching an external app for password input in those cases?

Please don't take this as a criticism of your personal preference. I believe this feature would make things convenient for users who want it - those who don't, nothing changes.

Even ssh (via ssh-keygen) lets you specify the passphrase at command-run time. Others include htpasswd, htdigest...
