Not sure if this is a "standard (XDG) way", but I'm running i3lock:

Simple and efficient.
https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/man/i3lock
My environment:
% env | egrep -i 'n__desktop|session=|ssion_t|xdm'
DESKTOP_SESSION=i3
DM_CONTROL=/run/xdmctl
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDM_MANAGED=method=classic
% loginctl session-status | grep Servic\[e\]
Service: kdm; type x11; class user
