Referring to the Wikipedia article, if you wire your 3-way switching
using what they call the 'alternative' system it should make it easier
to achieve. Indeed it specifically states "an optional additional
lamp can be connected at Terminal A as a pilot lamp" and "it has the
advantage of allowing loads at both ends of the switched circuit to be
controlled from either end":

This is the obvious way to wire up multi way switching since it is an
extension of a one way.
