Thats absolutely possible via the underlying WebPayments API. The payment "wallet" is linked in the HTML (at least for web pages, RSS, podcast RSS, etc) so someone could design an app that reads these links as QR codes.

Whether the payment solution is via government backed, banking systems, or crypto, all it needs to be is compatible.
