How to tag unconfirmed/disconnected trails added via imagery?

It isn’t suitable for something that might not be a “highway”, so it doesn’t solve that issue.

I would only use it for disconnected segments that are clearly visible as paths or tracks on satellite imagery.

It depends naturally on how you go about actually confirming if the way exists, but you can generate geojson, GPX, KML and even OSM format data for the geometry, and just integrate once you have confirmed that it is actually what you thought it was.

And I would use this technique for any annotations I overlay on my navigation app. I usually confirm the existence of trails via GPS traces that I either collect myself on the ground or obtain from other contributors, like OpenStreetMap GPS Traces or Strava Heatmap.
