It seems reasonable but my first question is the UI. Do you have a proposal? The password field UI works, in my opinion, because it shows up when the password field is focused on. Assuming one uses the mouse to click on it (and doesn't tab to it from the username)
- they see it.
How would you communicate this for .onion links or bitcoin text? These fields are static text and would not be interacted with in the same way as a password field.
A link could indeed be clicked - so that's a hook for UX... A bitcoin address would probably be highlighted for copying so that's another hook... But what should it do?

Bitcoin has a URL scheme that is increasingly used, so the UI mechanism could be the same as for .onion links. However, for both .onion links and for bitcoin: links, there's a risk that the website will simply ask the user to manually copy the .onion URL or Bitcoin address -- I doubt that most users will recognize this as an attempt to evade detection. So any UI mechanism will probably need to recognize any string that looks like a .onion URL or a Bitcoin address, even if they're not links.
