Scan to Connect Barcode with DataWedge

I am currently building a .Net MAUI application that uses DataWedge to listen to barcode scanning events. I have been able to set up a profile programatically and even enable/disable scanning plugin dynamically.
But, within the application, I want to create a 'Scanner Control' section where one of the feature is going to be a 'Scan to Connect' barcode being displayed for the user so that they can just scan it with their DS3678 scanners and it connects with the mobile device. However, I am not being able to find any DataWedge API that generates such barcode. Am I missing anything? I would also love to hear about other potential solutions/implementations where I can get a list of peripheral scanners, send a signal to each one to recognize them and potentially initiate a bluetooth connection from within the app itself. Please let me know if all these are even possible. I'd really appreciate any help/direction I'm able to get regarding this.

You can do this independently from Datawedge by calling the intent below to show the bluetooth pairing barcode via the Bluetooth Pairing app which is pre-installed on all Zebra Android handhelds:

adb shell am start -n com.symbol.scanning.scanningframework/com.symbol.btapp.BTActivity
