Describe the feature you'd like to request

Currently, when using Email OTP authentication, users must:

1. Enter their email and request a code
2. Receive an email with a code
3. Return to the same browser session
4. Enter the code manually

This creates a problem when users want to complete the authentication by clicking a link in their email, as the authentication state is lost when opening the link in a new tab or after closing the browser.

We would like to be able to send verification emails with clickable links in addition to a code. For example:

Click here to sign in: https://app.example.com/auth/verify?token=12345678

Or you can fill in the code 12345678

This would allow users to complete the authentication by simply clicking the link in their email, regardless of which device they're using or whether they've closed their browser.

Note: For the SignUp, it's actually possible to continue email verification process in the different browser.

Describe the solution you'd like

Similar to confirmSignUp, where you can specify username and code, it would be great if you can specify username instead of relying on a browser state to make confirmSignIn work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No other ideas currently
