This is a terminal-emulator thing rather than a zsh thing,  If your

The OSC 133 prompt integration sequence that zsh built from latest
sources can generate does facilitate this with some terminals. It even
works in kitty.

I have no idea what kitty is, but it does seem that my overall notionwas not as far fetched as I expected. I'll poke around.
