Once anonymous methods are implemented (I don't give an estimate here 
though) you should be able to do something like that.

That you can't access the GUI is not a problem of FPC, but a design 
decision of the LCL (or better: the VCL which it is based upon). If 
you'd write a GUI toolkit yourself you could write it in a way that 
allows access from multiple threads (if the underlying GUI system 
(WinAPI, X11, etc.) allows it of course)...
