For something like that to work, you would need to have it built in with the
theme, or use a plugin that comes with it's own templating system, like
Flutter does.

The reason something like that can't currently be integrated into WordPress
is that WordPress themes are allowed complete freedom over the output, so
you don't have standard page elements like post_title, post_content, which
you could manipulate with javascript.

A theme framework that would offer inline editing would be reallly
interesting.
