Don't know myself, but it sounds like something the MTA wants to eventually do to the Atlantic Avenue Branch.

Was it a connection to the 5th Avenue el? I think I may have seen pictures of a connecting track from the el to the LIRR.

This was discussed here about two years ago. I always thought that the LIRR operated that service from the Sands St Loop and Atlantic Ave to Jamaica.

The BRT obtained its Brooklyn Bridge franchise to Park Row, when it took over the Kings County RR in 1899. The LIRR began service from the High St Loop around the same time.
