I don't think that's possible: keygrips are "protocol" agnostic, but key
IDs are not. So while the keygrip is the same for S/MIME and OpenPGP,
key ID's are inherently an OpenPGP thing. It doesn't make sense to
select a "key ID" for an S/MIME key. That's what I mean by protocol here.

My suggestion would be that

$ gpg --with-keygrip --card-status

would include keygrips in the output (it doesn't do that currently).

HTH,

Peter.
