No.

One of the reasons Gemini uses URLs is because the URL syntax is a

	
standard*. Gemtext allows linking to things that are accessible through

any other protocol for which there exists a URL scheme. In order for a
different-protocol link to be handled by a client for that protocol, it
is important that the link is a valid, standard URL. And it does not
make sense to use nonstandard fake URLs for gemini links and real URLs
for other protocols.
