I'm looking for ways to log into a command line interface but still be able to launch GUI applications. Is there any method to make this work? I'm curious if this is even remotely possible.

If you're thinking more about launching GUI apps via command line, you might want to look into x11 forwarding or something like Waypipe. These options can allow you to run a GUI app one at a time from the terminal.
For a local setup, consider using a Linux distribution without a desktop environment. Just install the GUI apps you need and you can use a lightweight compositor like Cage to manage them.
Are you trying to do this over SSH or on a system without a desktop environment? You could launch a terminal in a GUI like GNOME and start apps from there.
