Huh?  The service definitions are read from a local pg_service.conf, and are specified by setting PGSERVICE (and
PGSERVICEFILE)environment variables, no? 

What would you do with such URI if you need to other people to connect to the same service?  Send them URI along with
thepg_service.conf? 

Or are we talking about different things completely?
