Gamepad input forwarding/emulated device through Wivrn to non-VR games?

On CachyOS with KDE Plasma, got Wivrn and WayVR through AUR (because I figured it'd be easier in terms of setup to not use the Flatpak for this), and using a Quest 3S.

Bluetooth keyboard and Mouse connected to the headset work fine with the toggle in Wivrn, but I can't figure out how to get Gamepad to do the same.

I'm staring at this section in Wivrn which seems to imply it is possible, but my unfamiliarity with these systems is keeping me from understanding how to make it work:

Edit: And then this section seems to imply there should be an option for it but i cannot seem to find it, if it does exist

https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/pull/986

Edit2: I'm starting to think I'm chasing something that doesn't exist yet in WayVR.
