No, not exactly.

Logmein contols a desktop through a RDP type browser plugin and allows
a remote support representative to follow all your actions.

The closest thing is a vnc connection, or a RDP client, but it is
still not truely browser based.

There are applications like BEef, which are exploits that allow
control of systems through a browser using javascript, but it's still
not comparable really to logmein, which is very similar to a Live
Person cookie/application.

Kaseya agents DO WORK just like this for Linux, OS X and Novell as
well as Citrix/Microsoft, but it's pricey!
