Steven,
Yup, there is a way. All you have to do is put in about 80 hours of
programming and voila!, you'll have the feature that you desire.
Seriously, this has been on the To-Do list for ages:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html
I am currently working on this feature in my spare time, but it is very
complex and very difficult to conceptualize what is happening. In other
words, it simply will take a long time to implement.
Check back in 6 months.
