I have a Rift S. My son has a Quest 2. Is it possible to use the Quest 2 Oculus Link from my PC?

I have a Rift S on a decent PC. My son has a Quest 2. My wife has glasses. The wife would like to visit some of her old haunts in Google Earth but her glasses don't really work with my Rift and Google...

    Rift needs a HDMI style Display port cable, in  addition to the usb 3 link cable and port. The account logins should be able to be switched at will.

    Multiple headsets on one PC are fine. I regularly have a CV1, Rift-S, Quest 2 and Go connected at once. :)
    It's easy to toggle between headsets in the PC app, you don't need to unplug anything (only one headset is active at a time, chosen in the devices section).
    You can also log in and out of the PC app as needed. Only games owned by the current account (if they aren't free) can be played.
    I haven't tested for a while, but last time I did it also didn't matter if the Quest and PC are on the same account. The account of the PC is what you see over Link. I think I tested that on the Quest, not the Quest 2, can't remember. So no idea if that is still the case (I might try later today).
