How do screen readers which support attribute cursors know which attribute combination is being used as the cursor? That can be different for each application.They usually do it by defining the various attribute combinations in so called "profiles" and either switch profiles automatically based on the current screen content, or offer the user a way to switch between "profiles" on demand. Its really no rocket science.
What might be nice, assuming it's feasible, would be to add a command to designate a screen character with attributes you would like tracked. So in a new app, you fumble around a bit and figure out where the cursor is, then tell BRLTTY with a command, presumably using a cursor routing key. BRLTTY looks at the attributes for that character and tries to track that.
