The one-word answer is "no".

So the follow-up question is: what do you want to do?

What would you like nginx to do with that request, that somehow involves
Docroot?

Serve a specific file from the filesystem? Make a fastcgi request to an
upstream including a particular key/value pair? Something else?

And what would you like nginx to do with *that* request, that is different
from the previous one?

Perhaps the thing that you want achieved, can be achieved somehow.
