Are OAuth shared accounts possible?

I was wondering if a user could register with an account from abc and I work with features from that platform. But later they can add xyz and I can work with features from them too. Could the user then log in from any of those platforms?

TL;DR
Developers are discussing the possibility of linking OAuth accounts from different platforms under one user identity. It's confirmed that users need to register with the same email on all platforms for it to work seamlessly. If this condition is met, users can log in from any of the linked platforms.

Yes, as long as it is the same email address for all.
