This has nothing to do with bash.  You would have to request this
kind of feature at the terminal level (where "terminal" could be an
X terminal emulator, or a terminal multiplexer like screen or tmux).

When bash runs a command, and that command writes stuff to stdout, bash
is not involved in the writing.  Bash does not sit as an intermediary
between the command and the terminal.  Bash doesn't even know whether
the command wrote anything to the terminal or not, let alone what was
written.
