The new line breaking code is entirely based on Donald Knuth's boxes, glue and penalties. It should be possible to modify the algorithm such that it does the above. Each box has access to the text that it contains, and it has pointers to the line endings of the preceding lines. That would be an interesting exercise. But it is entirely out of the scope of regular FOP.
