VESCTool - connect to ESP32?

I wonder if anyone has connected the VESC Tool to an ESP32, instead of a dongle?

My reason for this is I have a display connected to the UART pins - but would like to use the VESC Tool at the same time!  Since the ESP32 supports Bluetooth 4, I wonder if it could just act as a relay, extracting the info it needs for the display as it goes?

The display is here (if you're interested) https://github.com/SimonRafferty/VESC_ESP32_Display

Yes, it is possible to just forward all the UART communication through the ESP32.

There's a gentleman who already worked that out https://github.com/thankthemaker/rESCue

It is also possible to tunnel the UART through CAN, which is how metr.at do on their CAN version module, however that's still not implemented on thankthemaker's code.
