Not exactly as @-codes are pretty restrictive as to the contents (e.g. no space characters), so it'be pretty hard to put a code block within an @-code. One possibility is to define a JS property with a getter function and then you can invoke that getter function with the JS:propname @-code: https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes#external_content
