Also i love this idea but i would suggest to preserve the copy&paste
self-authenticated URL property of TorHS, also in presence of authorization.

It could be done with a parameter in the URL
http://blahblah.onion/?authTorHBauBauMeowMeow=PASSWORD
Or it could be done with a URL handler httpA://PASSWORD@blahblah.onion .

That way it will be possible to use such authenticated TorHS by
bookmarking an URL in TBB or by copy/pasting it from a password manager.
