Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We're integrating social linking using authClient.linkSocial, and we would like to prevent the default redirect behavior in favor of handling the flow via a popup window. This is important for preserving application state during the linking process.

Currently, attempting to pass a disableRedirect: true option leads to a TypeScript error:

Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'disableRedirect' does not exist in type 'Prettify<{
  provider: unknown;
  callbackURL?: string | undefined;
  idToken?: {
    token: string;
    nonce?: string | undefined;
    accessToken?: string | undefined;
    refreshToken?: string | undefined;
    scopes?: string[] | undefined;
  } | undefined;
  requestSignUp?: boolean | undefined;
  scopes?: string[] | undefined;
  errorCallbackURL?: string | undefined;
}>'.ts(2353)

Describe the solution you'd like

We’d like the linkSocial method in authClient to support a disableRedirect: true option (or similar) that allows the OAuth flow to open in a popup or new tab instead of redirecting the main browser window.

THis would make it possible to :

  • Preserve app state during linking flow
  • Preserve application state during the social linking flow
  • Avoid a full page reload

const { data } = await authClient.linkSocial({
  provider: 'linear',
  disableRedirect: true
})
