The best way to do this may be to write an app that uses OAuth. In that way, you can do asynchronous token exchanges with the caveat that you'll need to pop open a browser window to the OAuthAuthorizeToken page. If you don't specify an oauth_callback url, the user can close the window once they've authorized the token and exchange the token for an access token back in your app.
