While I want Apple to support this natively, this may be possible using a small NFC tag under your phone's case or attached to the back. Something like this: https://taptag.shop/products/tap-tag-hyperslim. (The price is ridiculous, but I guess they know they have a niche thing that people want.) It essentially doesn't use the iPhone's NFC chip. I don't have one of these (yet) and am not sure if this would affect Qi charging or have any other ill effect.

Would something like an NFC tag affixed onto or under your phone case be a good workaround here? Something like this: https://taptag.shop/products/tap-tag-hyperslim.
