VTE can certainly do this. It's the library many people use to embed a

I use VTE in Coedit but so far the only advanced feature is that it
follows the projects path and/or the editor file path dynamically.
Useful but far from what you describe, which is done elsewhere.
I think that Konsole must be based on something similar to VTE (i.e a
library) because the way it's integrated in Dolphin for example shows
that it's not just a window that's hosted (it follows the path selected
in the explorer... oh i remember where i stole the idea now...)
Cool, I didn't know about VTE. On the desktop, I'm more KDE/Qt, but
apparently, it seems Qt has an equivalent: qtermwidget. Don't know
whether it supports the same thing though. Will have to look into it.
