Is it possible to start a background nearby interaction session without pairing? It would be nice to have a bunch of background sessions for a bunch of devices and not need them to all be confirmed by the user like in the foreground.

Scenario: We have a museum where each exhibit has a UWB BLE accessory. A user moves around the museum with their phone application in the background. Once a user enters an exhibit area (Determined by UWB distances) a background task is initiated (audio/notification/widget).
The Question: In our current understanding of the protocol, the user must pair to each exhibit anchor beforehand, significantly impairing the user experience and bloating their Bluetooth-paired device list. Is it possible now or potentially in the future to not require pairing for pre-approved devices? Alternatively, pairing to a hub that acts as an intermediary between the phone and accessories also seems like an appropriate compromise.
