Though, I don't think that would help in my case. I start from my
.zshrc running within the pane as my shell is starting up. As a
.zshrc running within a pane I can find my pid&tty, but I don't know
how that tty or pid fits within tmux's model of
sessions/windows/panes, and am trying to figure that out.
The syntax for target-pane doesn't allow me to specify a tty or pid to
target the pane, though I think tmux could be changed to do that. It
is possible to target a client based on tty. It's not clear to me why
tmux couldn't be changed to also specify a pane with a tty (or if that
is ambiguous, provide a way to list all such panes.)

Thanks!
