How to connect social account to already registered user in SecureSocial, when the user is logged in?

Question

Well, I have a question regarding connecting multiple social accounts using SecureSocial, not through the login menu, but from inside the App.

What I am trying to do is:

• User Logs In the app using SecureSocial
• After he/she logs in the app, they should be allowed to connect their Facebook/Twitter account, what I am trying to do is let users connect to different social account from a logged in session of the app.

To make it more simple, what I mean do is, provide "Connect to Facebook" OR "Connect to Twitter" from inside the app, for logged in users. Is there any such functionality in SecureSocial??, they have made it really easier for me to integrate social channels in my app, who has no idea whatsoever about social apps.

Is there some functionality as such provided by SecureSocial, or will I need to create my own modules, if I am needed to create my own modules, could you guys give me some pointers about how to do so. I googled for this issue but couldn't get any suitable answers. Thank you.

There is support for linking accounts now. Check the master samples on how to do it. If you start an authentication flow when a user is already logged in SecureSocial will invoke a new method called link in UserService.
