Delegate a process to a file, for later reattachment? (feddit.uk)

Is such a think possible under Linux?

Yeah I know I can tmux / nohup, and I know that if I dig deep enough I can manually reattach some of the file descriptors under /proc to get a working terminal for that process again....

... but is there a tool that automatically does this somehow?

e.g.

run -d ./bash long-running.sh  >  proc.file
### later
run -a  proc.file

Edit: Y'all really know how to recreate the feeling of StackOverflow circa 2018

Screen should work with no problem. You just start the screen session, detatch when you want, reattach later. No problem.
