man terminfo(5):
Some terminals with status lines need special sequences to access the
status line. These may be expressed as a string with single parameter
tsl which takes the cursor to a given zero-origin column on the status
line. The capability fsl must return to the main-screen cursor posi‐
tions before the last tsl. You may need to embed the string values of
sc (save cursor) and rc (restore cursor) in tsl and fsl to accomplish
this.
Xterm's title sequence does not do this, so it won't be "formalized" as "tsl"
in the terminal database.
You may consider this (from screen):
XT (bool) Terminal understands special xterm sequences (OSC, mouse
tracking).
