Terminal output redirect to buffer in Neovim

Question

Is it possible in neovim to execute a command in the neovim's internal terminal and redirect output to a real buffer that'd support toggling word wrap?

Currently terminal buffer doesn't allow you to disable word wrap and so it's not practical for many cases when output has long lines that you need to be able to copy.

As described in the reddit post linked by Daniel the answer to my question is to use nvr.

In neovim's internal terminal you can run command like this:

<cmd> | nvr -o -
