You may need a Thunderbolt 3 KVM switch, because ASD is Thunderbolt 3. These are not cheap.

Agreed. Another option though obtuse, he could log into his Mac and remote the Thinkpad or visa versa. There are trade-offs of course

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. You’d need two Thunderbolt switchers, which would not be cheap … best off either just resign yourself to swapping cables, or try some sort of remote access from one system to the other.
