How to prompt for user input at the bottom of the terminal screen while printing text from the top down? #1911

I need to prompt for user input at the bottom of the terminal screen while still having any text being printed to be outputted at the top of the terminal screen to the bottom. This prompting needs to behave similarly to session.prompt_async and place nicely with an existing asyncio event loop handler while still supporting all the usual syntax highlighting and tab completion features. Is there some way I can do this or perhaps take in a prompt input within a bottom toolbar object?

Thanks this is a good start, but I need it to be sort of compatible "out of the box" without any special modifications to how standard output is printed. This is because all the output is coming from loguru loggers within a FastAPI application and I want to make no changes to the loggers if possible. A full screen application might force me to have to modify my loggers to "play nice" with the application not to mention if it would even work with the asyncio event loop because it has to run in an existing event loop
