Why not open a new tab for interacting with the auth server, while simultaneously opening a back channel request in the original session? Once the user has authenticated/authorized from the new tab, the back channel request would resolve. 2/

There's also a new draft, Pushed Authorization Requests, which moves a bunch of the fragile bits out of the front channel. Similar but slightly different goal. tools.ietf.org/id/draft-lodd…
