The default case is you use your OpenID to log into your main
account. So while you would need to create an account that an
OpenID gets associated with, you could log in with your OpenID
alone to access your main account.

Also, it is weird to log out of your main account and then log
into a different account you have permissions for. If you are
logged into your main account, you should either be able to just
pick another identity you are authorised to use from a list.

So really your OpenID is enough. Logging in with it gets you into
your main account, and from there you can hop over to another
account you have access to.
