adding RTTY to WSJT-X is like:
"... can I add a Diesel engine to my advanced hydrogen driven car."
RTTY needs a complete different user interface, complete different
decoding and transmission, RTTY is doing it character by character.
RTTY has variable tx/rx cycle, has a rather large rx windows, needs
a type ahead tx window and so on and so on.
Remark: WSJT-X reads a complete cycle into a .wav file and decodes
at the end of the cycle, RTTY does decoding charcter by character.
So, those are two complete different worlds with complete different
user interfaces.
Well, you could argue 'everything is possible', but read my 'is like'
above, would you ever do this?
