I do not understand what you mean by "jumps". All CNC machines use
turtle graphics in 2D, 3D, 4D, etc. Gcmc is an abstract way to program
the path of the "turtle" (mill) based on fairly standard math
descriptions (vectors).

CNC machines cannot physically jump. Well, they might do that, but that
would not be a good thing, I guess.

Can you give me an example when you want to "jump" and what that
actually means for you? My guess is that you can use sub-routines to
encapsulate functional routines for your "handling" machine and bind
them together in conditional/uncoditional way.

However, if you have (complex) feedback from your machine to decide what
to do next, then you will find it difficult to use gcmc. It could be
solved by using a different backend in gcmc to do other interactions,
but that requires some development work and would depend highly on the
application.
