Welcome John!

This guide seems to indicate that someones done it in the past: Configuring OpenThread Radio Co-processor on nRF52840 Dongle — Matter documentation

Thanks Liam for the warm welcome and for finding the info that answers my question. I couldn’t find it with my Google search terms.

Still, your link confirms that I do need to programme the dongle for openthread. However, the detailed instructions are too much for me to understand. So, I will not be buying the dongle. I’ll just wait for a more consumer friendly retail product.

No worries at all!

In the Homeassistant space, I don’t think there is a huge amount of ‘friendly retail’ products - most of the products and software is left open to customisation.
