I don't know plans about it.

Note that it's mostly libtsm that would need to add support for
exposing its content. Apparently it stores the screen content as a mere
matrix of characters, so it should be simple enough, such as a
shared-memory segment similar to the screen/tmux support.
And kmscon itself would need to expose its current session number, to
properly switch between text consoles and X/Wayland console.
