In principle, it is possible.
Whether it is feasible, depends on what you want to do.

If you want for example provide a different "standard_html_header",
you could do:

    URL:  _path_to_myobject/special_view

with "special_view" containing the following code:

  <dtml-var special_html_header>
  <dtml-var "PARENTS[0](PARENTS[1],REQUEST,standard_html_header='')">

This will usually work if "myobject" is a DTML object.

It renders a special header (which may be necessary for
a print view) and then renders "myobject" in a way
very similar to how ZPublisher would have done it.

Of course, you can add further parameters to the call.

Could you avoid HTML posting?

  I have to manually delete it when you reply to your message...
