Yes. This (image support in general in Terminal emulators and Terminal multiplexers) is currently being actively discussed here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/

  The discussions are very interesting, but I'm not sure they are going anywhere. Sixels might win by default. It's not a bad thing. Sixels in 16m colors are quite versatile. But let's suppose that, eventually, a better standard for terminal image support might emerge. Anything that can already support sixels won't be too hard to change to support this new standard, unless it doesn't use pixels -- though it would be neat if this standard was vector based, like ReGIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS - I want SVG in my terminal :-) For now, sixels already work reliably for most of the things I do. So now, I concentrate on the applications, to make sure most of my workflow can be console based.

  I'm not really convinced by the general mindset of ths discussion. What programs need is not to display a "png file" inside the terminal. What you want is to access the individual pixels of a rectangular framebufer using serialized escape sequences. That way you can intetact with the images.
