There's no command like that in TeXmacs, but it
would be quite easy to implement one by means of
some socket connection to your shell process and
by means of the tree (i.e. DOM-like) API of TeXmacs
to insert the output in the document. All the info
you need has been sent to the mailing list at some
point.
