Reading more about this, it seems that one of the ideas is indeed to capture the neutrons in a liquid lithium blanket, that would then produce both heat and tritium, and using that heat, that is outside the magnetic confinement, to connect to a turbine.
Unfortunately, I believe that the area of actually capturing the energy of the fusion reaction is almost entirely unstudied yet in practice.
