Does WebKit allow for asynchronous methods / functions to be added

There’s no clear definition for “asynchronous functions” so I can’t
really answer that question.
There are many JavaScript functions that do work and then later call a
function to indicate the work is complete. If you’re using the
JavaScriptCore API you can easily implement something like that. But
you need to be sure to manipulate the JavaScript objects only on the
same thread the JavaScript call comes in on. In the WebKit context
that means only on the main thread.
So you can do some work, and then make a call to a JavaScript function
that the caller passed on the main thread.
