ESP8266 and PC communication via onboard USB

Hi.
I wonder if it possible to have a ESP8266 listen to the onboard serial, that is connected to a PC via the usb cable. In this case the USB port is recognized as com3:

Sample: echo 1 > com3 from PC will be received as 1 Serial.read() on ESP8266 (of couse baudrate and bits will be matching).

Thanks. Regards, Eric.
