That should already possible if you use[1] ?resource=https://user.com 
(and
in my opinion could be used also for passing full actor IDs[2]).

However I think this mechanism is somewhat redundant because if
the actor id is already known as https://user.com (from the perspective
of the service/client) discovery should not really be needed.
