Well, perhaps in a sense *anything* is possible with enough code to implement it. However as originally designed and currently written it is not possible for nohup to do this. It is only possible for nohup if it were rewritten to be a completely different program. It would need to be an active participant in the I/O. And I would hate to invalidate all of the Unix documentation written to date on nohup.
It has no need to be an active participant in the IO; it just needs to change the name it passes to open() when it sets up the file descriptors prior to exec().
