No, this isn't possible at the moment.

If you care about this being implemented, I suggest you first file a feature request on Github. Even if you were to implement this yourself, you should at least get a reply on whether we'd accept such a feature. Otherwise your work would either be wasted or you'd have to fork i3 for yourself.

The relevant code is probably mostly src/x.c and include/data.h. Plus you'd need to add a command for it, for which I suggest looking at any recent PR that added a new command.

@Adaephon Sorry, but I don't understand why you're linking to bitbucket. Also the link requires a login, so I've removed it.

Thank you, I'll file a feature request on GitHub before I attempt any work by myself. I just wanted to know if that wasn't already a feature to avoid adding an unnecessary issue.

For anyone interested this is the feature request I just filed: https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/1879 .

@Airblader Sorry, this should have been a link to the issue page of i3's github repository. It seems I forgot to actually copy the URL before pasting it :-[

Somehow the link appears to be broken, a closing p html tag is appended in the end for no apparent reason. Removing that tag from the end of the url fixes it, but I can't edit comments.
