Not today, but you have the source so it would be possible to contribute it as a feature. I'd envision you needing to describe a tree structure in XML, and enhancing the existing schema to support it. From there, adding a "page" in the BA to build up the tree and display it isn't a trivial task. And the final big hurdle is getting it to "work right" in all possible situations (installs/upgrades/repairs/etc).
