A text shows where? Shows at the point of input, at the point of the
option, at some other point?

I think you might want to address specific points in the grid of
characters on the terminal. That's specific to each operating system, so
you'll need an API which knows how to tell the terminal what you mean.

The Python standard library includes such an API in the ‘curses’ library
<URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/curses.html>. Try using that and
see whether it meets your needs.
