There was a thread about this a while ago. I do not think so. Could be wrong...

There was a discussion in the Engine Development section about this, and the ability to do this is being explored for a possible future version. It seems likely it can be done, with the bigger question being when, in light of the sequencing of other enhancements to the field object.
