No. Arguably such a feature (or a variant on it of some kind) would be
useful, but it's not something that's particularly easy to do with the
current resolver and I'd have to work out exactly what the implications
of doing so would be before adding it to the new resolver.

I suspect what you want to do is mask */*::overlay and then selectively
unmask packages that you do specifically want (unmasks override masks).

It's not quite as clean, but it's much less potentially weird.
