No.
Long time ago I imagined writing a brlapi multiplexer that would permit
to use 3 brltty daemons: one for xw, one for your braille display, the
multiplexer connected to these two brlttys via brlapi, and a third
brltty using the brlapi braille driver. Problems include different
braille display sizes, mixing key events & such, and time to develop it
vs number of use cases :)

Usually for such demonstrations I just use the gpm highlight feature of
brltty.
