No. Only you can scan QR codes in (.cia) format via FBI, you cannot download (.nds) files unless you transfer them using FTP or with an SD card reader.

It’s definitely not worth the time or effort

But I do wonder, what if sidekick made a dsi homebrew rom for flashcarts that uses the dsi camera? If it runs off the flashcart the rim should have enough R/W access to drop the downloaded rom into the proper spot on the flash cart itself

Now this is also assuming you’re past the old network security requirement. But in theory that should work right ?

Edit: I didn’t realize this was the 3ds section so ignore that last bit lol

You can run DSiWare or homebrew made for the DSi through TWiLight Menu++ on either a flashcart or on the console's SD card. However, if it's related to camera functionality for the DSi & 3DS systems, then you cannot use this on the Original DS/DS Lite models

I thought I was in the ds section at first lol

But if it was on twilight menu or a flash cart. On a dsi/3ds this should be possible it sounds like. Could be a fun shits and gigs project call it dShop 🤣

I wasn’t sure if homebrew had camera access on the dsiware side

I should add that even if you don't have access to a PC, there are many FTP clients available for smartphones.

I think you can also install games wirelessly using Boop, but you'd still need a PC for that.
