Are you thinking of something like WebUSB?
(https://reillyeon.github.io/webusb/)? This is something we've looked at
a bit but we're still trying to wrap our heads around the security
implications.

My understanding is that Channel ID is being superseded by token binding
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/tokbind/charter/), so if we do something in
this area, it's more likely we would do token binding than channel ID,
I expect.
