No, at least not currently. Otherwise screens could get left orphaned
and maybe an other client could hijack them. But maybe it would be a
nice feature if you could leave the screen with a password to
reconnect... Only the owning client should know the password.
If you want to write that code, go ahead.

The lcdexec client is meant for just that, but it is not/hardly
documented. Search the list archives for more info.

If you want more than only starting scripts/programs you have to
write your own client.
