Is there a way to prompt users to connect a non-auto-connect interface during installation?

[Aaron Hampton]

Is it possible to check which interfaces a snap is connected to from within
the snap? Or, would I have to try accessing the resources an interface
exposes to know whether or not it had access?

I tried calling snap interfaces from within my program, but I got a
permissions error.
