At least on macOS, the answer is no - a user alert indicating the application is asking to read the credentials will appear with a password field to grant acces

  On Windows an application using the Data Protection API can force the decrypt procedure to show a dialog[1]. Though I haven't checked if the dialog is run in a secure context, like for example the UAC dialog is. And I don't know if the dialog contains any information identifying the processing asking. If the dialog is just run in the normal context, or doesn't inform the user who wants to decrypt the data, it's not that useful for thwarting an attack I suppose.
