Hi, sorry for the late response.
Well, since a KTable is basically (please allow me the rough simplification) a view based on a Kafka topic, I guess what you are really asking is whether out-of-the-box integration with Kafka using Websockets exists.
And unfortunately the answer is no, it does not exist.
As per this post, it looks like they experimented with the idea at Confluent, but I could not find anything more about websockets in their blog nor documentation.
I also found this (random) repository on Github but it is 5 years old and looks abandoned.
I even considered to try building a Kafka connector for Websockets myself but I never started it.
