Does MagSafe works 2-way to charge accessories?

Hi,

Can someone tell me if the MagSafe feature on iPhone12 can be used to power external accessories?

Is it a 2 way system?

Thanks

Three-way charge? Can I have my MagSafe battery pack attached to a power source while attached to my iPhone, and simultaneously having my iPhone attached to another power source and charge both battery pack and iPhone at the same time? I understand the MagSafe battery pack can be reversed charged with the iPhone attached to a power source but my question is, can I do that without the reverse charge and instead I have both MagSafe and iPhone attached to a power source while simultaneously attached to each other? for instants, my battery pack is fully charged, but my iPhone isn’t so I plug in my iPhone as well as my battery pack while my battery pack is attached to my phone will my iPhone charge quicker or will it charge the same as just one source of power via lightning cable would?

Can MagSafe Duo Charger charge to iPhones at the same time? I see there was discussion a few months ago about whether or not the MagSafe Duo Charger can charge two iPhones at the same time. Is there a definitive answer on this yet? I'm trying with my new MagSafe and not getting it to work. But would like to hear of others' experiences before I return it. Thanks.

Can iPhone XS support MagSafe accessories with MagSafe sticker I was wondering if my iPhone XS can support MagSafe accessories (like MagSafe wallet, MagSafe battery pack) if I attach a MagSafe sticker at the back of my iPhone. Will my iPhone charge with the MagSafe battery pack if a MagSafe sticker is attached to the back of my iPhone? I hope someone can clear my clarifications. Thank you!
