I wondered where the yes-or-no-p prompt happened, and it's in the bowels
of read_minibuf, and it's this:
/* Insert the prompt, record where it ends. */
Finsert (1, &minibuf_prompt);
So if we want to do this, it probably makes sense to put absolutely all
minibuffer prompts into the *Messages* buffer.
And that's actually something I can see the charm in doing, but I'm not
quite sure that the use case is compelling. Dan mentions

but you can do that by just going to the beginning of the minibuffer and
copying the text there.
Does anybody have an opinion here?
