Touchscreen? Or be able to swap in a touchscreen that fits

Finding a touchscreen for this machine is still going to be pretty hard, but it just got significantly easier: FW released pinouts for their display connector:

Display Interface

IPEX 20879-040E connector used to interface to an eDP display. Note that there are signals defined for both USB 2.0 and I2C touchscreens. There is a PWM interface to control backlight brightness, but the display currently used on the Framework Laptop converts that to a DC LED control.
