Adding an OpenID to an existing contact
How do I add an OpenID to an existing or new contact without forcing them to login with their OpenID (and then merging the contact information after the fact)?

Inappropriate?You cannot assign an OpenID to an existing or new contact. When your contact logs in with their OpenID it will be assigned to them, but it won't be visible to you.
Does this answer your question?

Yes and no:) If I know the person's OpenID, it would be nice to be able to enter it so that when they log in they don't have to wait for me to go through the "connection" process. For example, if my friend is alice@example.com and I know that example.com uses OpenID's of http://alice.example.com then I'd like to be able to add that directly and assign her to a Persona. If for some reason she logs in with a different OpenID then the existing flow works find and I can merge accounts after the fact.
I find that I'm doing a lot of the "merging contacts" because I have a contact already and then they log in with their OpenID (which I sometime know ahead of time) and now they have two different contact entries (until I merge them). I do really like the merge contact feature though. That works well:)
Thanks,
