Nope, unless you write your own X or Wayland, that will but itself ontop of the VT (as in VT1-VT6).
To start applications from the cli, you must either be in a terminal window so you can start GUI applications, or if you're on a VT, the application must be a CLI tool.
There are several applications that work on the CLI, from email via IRC to torrent clients and much more (alsamixer for example).
These kind of applications (binary) are usualy written using
ncruses.
If you like to have an interface like feeling on the console using scripts,
TUI could be of help.
