It seems like a mistake that you can't pass an LNURL (or LUD-16 identifier) straight into WebLN to pay an invoice. The client should not have to connect to remote servers and do the whole back-and-forth just to zap someone. This makes it impossible to implement Lightning donations in Soapbox as a purely client-side feature without completely removing the CSP.
