IFR GNSS Approaches with Vertical Guidance

Good time of day to everyone!

I am a fixed wing guy myself so I don't have that much in-depth knowledge on this subject.

My question here is has anyone seen anywhere in the World an IFR GNSS Appoach to a heliport or helipad that provided you with vertical guidance as well to a DH or DA? (Like an ILS).

As many of you know, there are plenty of SBAS (WAAS) LPV Approaches in the United States alone with 200-foot minumums, so pretty much CAT I ILS, however I haven't seen a single published approach of this kind for a heliport or helipad. Even in some FAA documents it mentions that WAAS LPV Approaches are permitted for Helicopters to a Point in Space, but it also mentions that as of 2013 no such approaches excist in practice.

So would be greatful if anyone would point to me to SBAS or GBAS approacheswith vertical guidance to a heliport or helipad anywhere in the World.
Thanks!
