This sounds like it would require your vim to run with the server enabled and might not be trivial to implement well in vim-anywhere

But here is a stackoverflow answer which suggests that MacVim does this by default so I guess you're halfway there if you wanna make it a PR (though the maintainer seems absent? ☹️)
