Given how fp sensors are capacitive, this should totally be doable. Several phones (including my pixel 5) allow using rear fp sensors for opening/closing the notification shade.

Aah.. I miss that on my framework laptop. I had it on my old HP ProBook in the Synaptics settings. Chiral and (1 finger) edge scrolling were amazing. I'd suggest using ZMK/QMK and a touchpad from mouser if anyone wants to DIY one today.
