Kasa devices leaking through via skills (1/2 bug report, 1/2 feature request)

Describe the bug

According to the documentation “It will NOT add smart devices connected to Alexa via Skills.”
However, some Kasa devices do show up and are controllable. (Personally this is a feature!!, not a bug).

I have ~7 devices (outdoor dual plug, dual outlet, individual plugs). I had 1 individual plug leak through.
After enabling advanced debugging and parsing the list of "Found unsupported device" the first difference I noticed was I had set the type of plug in Alexa (i.e. customerDefinedDeviceType) for the working switch. After manually picking that, the remaining smart plugs populated!

Further comparing to the dual devices that didnt appear, they return an additional key ('parent.deviceId) that isnt in the smart plug's output:

.......'softwareVersion': '1.0.1 Build 201109 Rel.150108', 'parent.deviceId': '8006E83A21DA6FC8F54924152D8F63C920XXXXXX'}}, 'firmwareVersion'......

Presumably that key is what's preventing this from working.
To be clear, its a bug report in the sense that it goes against the documentation, but this would be an amazing feature to have, even if not fully supported!

To Reproduce
Link some Kasa smart plugs and/or other devices to Alexa.
Set device type in Alexa
Smart plugs show in HA, Dual devices don't.

Expected behavior

According to the documentation, Kasa devices shouldn't show up.
However, I would humbly prefer this behavior be extended! Not eradicated!

Do you have the TP-Link Smart Home integration installed?
It should add the devices locally into HA for you.

Yes I used it for other installs. The use case here is for a few remote plugs that are on a different network/location and it's impractical to link the networks.

Got it. Have to see if I can borrow the dual plug outdoor from my gf that I installed for her for patio fountain but serves double duty for Christmas lighting. Could be a couple weeks before I can test...

No rush, Thanks (I waited long enough lol)

Definitely don't risk ruining Christmas automations for this 🙃
