At the moment, no but that's a good idea. On the other hand, in Avogadro 1.1,
it's fairly easy to add the benzyl groups to the side-chain. Select the
insertion point (either the hydrogen or the oxygen atom) go to Build -> Insert
-> Fragment and pick out benzene.
You should also be able to select multiple atoms and perform the insertion
across all of them at once.
Hope that helps,
