Hmm, let's do the math:

- QGIS 3.0 composer adds support for plugin-based item types, allowing
Python plugins to add new items to a layout
- fieldpapers is open source, so easy to see and reproduce the logic
regarding what's embedded in those QR codes
- there's existing Python libraries for QR codes as images, which
could then easily be rendered inside a QGIS 3.0 QgsLayoutItem subclass

Go forth magic QGIS plugin authoring elves! Do your thing!
