Yes, something that easy (or even easier!) is possible with an X terminal. But it's an unusual requirement (most people use a single X terminal)[citation needed].People use multiple workspaces/virtual desktops on a single X display, multiple windows on a workspace, some of those windows are terminal emulators, some terminal emulators support multiple tabs and/or panes, and people use those.
[citation needed] 😉
So:* One can switch from an X display to a Linux TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6], and back to X with Alt+F7 (usually).* One can switch workspaces with a mouse click or a configurable set of keys.* One can cycle windows in a single workspace with [Shift+]Alt+Tab or a mouse click.* One can cycle tabs in a single window with an application-specific shortcut or a mouse click.
All that is nice, but it's not what Richard asked AFAIU. He comes from a multiple terminal background, each of which is completely separated from the other ones, and what comes closest to that is to have multiple X servers running in parallel, and switching between them with, say, M-F<n>. At least, that's how I understood his question.
