Yes.
If you're looking to implement this yourself, search for 'multidevs' in git log
to see a recent example of adding a flag to the 'filesystem' device
(note that after providing the input for the test case, you can generate
the output by running:
VIR_TEST_REGENERATE_OUTPUT=1 tests/qemu${whatever}test
(not sure that's documented)).
Otherwise, simply wait until someone who needs it or someone who does it
based on your gitlab issue implements it.

Gitlab issues are the preferred way to report feature requests and bugs.
