Unfortunately, that mind reading software is still a few years away. There are some ligatures that are more or less standard such as the Æ entity, others can be accessed by using the &#xYYYY; entity where YYYY is a hex number. Then there is the CSS contextual support which makes use of the OpenType calt property. You could try using font-variant-ligatures: contextual which would come the closest to what you appear to want. Again this requires support baked into the font.
Please note that the calt feature is intended for use by script typefaces which are intended to have their glyphs joined. For my part, I find that script typefaces are not enjoyable for reading for any length of time. A short paragraph is about my limit.
You can check the Microsoft tag registry for more on various OpenType features. Check
https://www.microsoft.com/typography...eatures_ae.htm for example.
