That is exactly how I use it and why the lack of support hurts me

Plus Codes work with a reference point and do NOT rely on black box resolving of any exact point. If you are in the area of the precision of the short code, it always resolves to exactly the same place even if it resolves way off. This is part of the design of the system. Happy to explain this over and over again to more people, because this misunderstanding has been creeping in for ages. Taking any nominatim reference location (you could list the reference locations the same way as is done now in case of ambiguity) is perfectly fine and doesn't create discrepancies by design.
