Note that the system-wide trust store is already used for this for
webapps. The browser app runs unconfined though. If it ran confined, the
user would get a system prompt that would request location access on
behalf of the browser, without specifying which website actually
requests the information.

Also note that the current design doesn’t use the system-wide prompt,
but instead has it integrated in the webview:
