Yeah, although I'd think the capability to create such a URI is libpq's province not psql's. Maybe a PQgetConnectionURI(PGConn) function in libpq, and some psql backslash command to access that? Or maybe a nicer API would be that there's a magic psql variable containing the URI; not sure.
proof concept of PQGetConnectionUri and \uri command.
