Yes, it's been on the radar for quite some time now and we've had a
number of different conversations about it. This includes (at least)
talking about integrating Web Payment Providers with Web Intents (or
similar), using navigator.registerProtocolHandler, and using the
approach outlined in one of Manu's blog posts here:

With credential-based login, a browser API (that can be shimmed using
JS+telehash) could be made available to vendor sites that would
automatically determine the user's IdP which could, in turn, be queried
for their Web Payments provider.
