Maybe you get at this by stress realized with longer vowel duration, which is strictly correlated with VOT in the preceding stop in # CVs. There’s plenty showing the vdur/VOT relationship

Could be! But is there work controlling for the VOT/vowel duration relationship that still shows that stress and/or initial word position condition a longer VOT? I'm looking for prosodic effects on VOT (even if relative VOT), not on domain or prominence strengthening more generally.
Hmm, dunno of any specific lit like that but, I suppose if one way to implement prominence would be to “be louder”, then burst amplitude is correlated w VOT (loud bursts means longer VOT). Again not answering your q but thinking out loud, sorry!
