It is not… (unless you mean iCloud, but that seems far outside the scope of
your question)

However, if you are just looking to reduce visual clutter, you could also
tell the Finder not to __show__ the folder in Dropbox

SetFile -a V "$HOME/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit"

This will tell the Finder not to show the file (SetFile -a V = "set
visiiblity to no") but will allow BBEdit to know that it is there.

If you need to access that folder for some reason, you can always use the
Finder’s “Go » Go To Folder” menu and put in "~/Dropbox/Application Support"

I use this a lot for folders I can't move but don't need to see and/or
access often.
