No, that is not possible in general. 
The bluetooth chip responds to the inquiry without generating any HCI events. 
You can see SDP requests, since those are handled by the Bluetooth stack, but 
that won't help you much I guess. Maybe there are vendor-specific commands to 
make that possible, but I don't know about any.
