"gnome-remote-desktop" does exactly that - providing (amongst other capabilities) a way to handle remote logins: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop

Remote assistance, NOT remote logins. It can be used as support when someone is already went to that computer, authenticated and has a full gnome session opened.

So you literally CANNOT log in remotely :) If you are lucky, you can assist remotely to a session someone opened locally on that machine.

And it's like that on any other WM. KDE also has a deceiving option in settings that suggests full remote desktop, while it doesn't allow that.

Please just click in the link, read the README! It offers: - remote assistance - headless multi user remote login - headless (single user)

It's not explicit from the link, but does it allow the headless login to be resumed from console and vice versa?

I tried some solutions in the past but they did not support that, which is a deal breaker.

There are no headless sessions on Wayland. At all.

You want proper headless session, set up X11 distro and use xrdp - it's really easy. But on wayland "remote support" to something that is already displayed on screen is all you can get now.
