Comment (by rpayne7264):

 That's what I am doing. My PHP pop-up loads WP, sends off a request, and
 then awaits the reply. Closing the pop-up in between the request and the
 reply, just to open it again with something like
 http://example.com/?my_oauth_plugin, doesn't make a lot of sense.

 But the issue still remains: how to store state before I make that first
 call in the LinkedIn oAuth process flow.

 Assume that:
 -session variables are not available
 -cookies are not available
 -intra-site API or web service calls are not available

 I have run into all of the above situations.
 That leaves only two choices, that I can think of:
 1) loading core WP files in one way or another, within my pop-up
 2) implement some sort of convoluted JavaScript scheme between the pop-up
 and the opener
