I don't think so.

You may want to use an extracted view for cross-probing. Basically, open
the extracted view and when
the user clicks somewhere in the layout, search at the same position in
the extracted view for a
device. When using ivpcells, the size and position of the extracted device
instances match the
recognition layer.
