The Hue Bridge connects an IP network to a ZigBee network. That component emulates the IP side: it accepts IP commands for lights and translates them to Home Assistant devices. That's handy if you have something like an Amazon Echo that knows how to communicate via Hue's IP protocol.

What I believe you are describing would require a ZigBee radio and support for the ZigBee Light Link protocol (or maybe ZigBee Home Automation?). Luckily, there's a PR being worked on to support that in Home Assistant: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6263
