This might be doable, as the LiveReload extension sends the browser URL back to the server (as explained on https://github.com/mockko/livereload/blob/master/docs/WebSocketProtocol.md#url-change)

"The browser sometimes sends the URL of the current page back to the server. It is printed on the console and serves purely informational purposes (to give the user some confidence that things are working the way (s)he expects).

http://example.com/example/path/
"

I have not tried to send a "refresh" command with a different URL, but if it worked, then you could have the same behavior as what Adobe Edge Inspect provides.
