Just toss a doppler laser interferometer on a window, mirror, etc. At least with fiber-optics you need physical access. Single mode (I think that's most of FTTH) is pretty insensitive to vibration and hard to localize so you'd really have to install something.

In this context, is line of sight with the ability to emit and receive laser radiation at the target not ‘physical access’?

Ah, but of course. How could I forget about my trusty pocket doppler laser interferometer!
