Does the discovery queue work in the background?

Hewwo, as far as I can tell the sticker gets claimed automatically in the background every 20hrs (very cool). The Discovery Queue tho still has to be viewed/opened manually, right? I'm presuming the discovery queue is not accessible via the web api token?

I wonder if it, too, could be completely automated with a combination of pinned tabs and a content script that refreshes a few times a day.
