I don't think that's possible. The job of the status line, as you
probably have guessed, is to display that very kind of information. The
command line is, of course, primarily for typing ex commands, and any
information it displays is going to be inherently ephemeral.

That's not to say it would be impossible to write a plugin that does it,
but it would be a bit of a hack, since that's not the command line's
intended purpose.
