I don't think there is an easy way to do this. The question has not come
up before.
You can, of course, extract the artifacts into temp files and then diff
them:
fossil finfo -r $HASH1 file1.txt >temp1.txt
fossil finfo -r $HASH2 file2.txt >temp2.txt
fossil test-diff temp1.txt temp2.txt --tk
But there is no way, at present, to ask Fossil to diff a file in one
check-in against a different file in a different check-in, on the
command-line.

file and click on any two versions of that graph to get a diff between the
two versions of the file. Hmm... except there is not currently a web-page
that tracks a file across renames.
OK, so you have identified several new feature requests.....
