you are requesting a new feature in TightVNC which I would forward to
upstream. However upstream stopped supporting TightVNC 1.3 many years
ago with the result that it is fairly outdated nowadays. The integrated
X server for instance is still XFree86 based.

I suggest you try TigerVNC (package tigervnc-standalone-server or
tigervnc-scraping-server) instead, it relies on X.Org. If the feature
you are after is not already supported there I propose to reach out to
upstream and log a ticket under
https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues.

Best,
Sven
