Hi Folks,
We have a feature to integrate the SDKs with the desktop application which will address your concern and this is on our roadmap. I will forward this to the product team and please stay tuned!

Seems that PR #179 addresses this?

Hey all, we have released the Desktop App Authentication feature in beta which allow SDK integrations to authenticate as a regular user in a secure way via authorisation prompts. Here are some docs to get you started: https://developer.1password.com/docs/sdks/desktop-app-integrations!

It seems that the DesktopApp auth method has been added in the latest version of the sdk at this point.
The desktop app integration here looks like a nice upgrade, but what about for remote server environments which are using the
opcli but not a service account? I.e. one where I have logged in manually through the CLI and it's not linked to the desktop app. If I try to run using the DesktopAuth method here I getFileNotFoundError: 1Password desktop application not found(not so surprising).
