Only if you can think up some sensibly generic semantics.
While it would be possible to hack "config" to display only a single
specified setting, I strongly suspect that the next (and reasonable)
request would be the ability to display a group of specified settings.
This immediately leads on to the idea of displaying all settings within
a specified scope (rather than displaying all named and applicable
settings within a specified scope, which is what "config" does at present).
However, there is no way within iPXE to enumerate settings within a
scope. For some scopes, it would be possible to enumerate settings, but
not to know the types (and hence the display semantics) for all possible
settings: net0.dhcp is an example of such a scope. For some other
scopes, enumeration is logically impossible: for example, there is no
way to enumerate SMBIOS settings without having a list of all structure
definitions taken from the SMBIOS spec.
Find a sensible solution to the above set of problems, and "config" can
be made to do what you want.
