Research direction

Start by reviewing tmuxp's existing freeze/load behavior and how session state is serialized to YAML or referenced files. Compare the intended behavior with tmux-resurrect and define done as capturing and restoring the screen contents of every pane for arbitrary live sessions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice if you could use tmuxp like tmux-resurrect, i.e. for storing and restoring arbitrary live sessions using freeze/load. For for this to work properly, there has to be some way to capture the screen contents of all the panes and store them in the yaml, or in files references from the yaml.

So can we add this?
