It has been almost an year since Covid-19 forced shutdown of all the otb chess activities. Now it is very difficult to play otb fide rated tournaments. Its even more difficult to get FIDE titles. So participating in the chess.com Titled Tuesdays is impossible for many good players. Is there a possibility of allowing players based on chess.com ratings or FIDE online titles (based on FIDE online arena)?
Pretty sure that isn't going to happen.

Its impossible, since the event is called as "Titled" tuesday.
That is why I have opined that online FIDE titles of the FIDE Online Arena could be used. In online FIDE events, these titles are used like AGM, AIM etc.
Hmm I don’t think so...

Over The Board ... In particular in this context, in person officially rated play.

Hello!
Actually, according to FIDE itself, these are official recognized titles, they even appear under a player's FIDE id: https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B11FOATitlesForLowerRatingBand
