Yes, but note that it only works within a certain context and is not ageneral solution to transclusion. Also, the transclusion is done by theclient. A Gemini server *could* implement transclusion behind the scenes.
Also:

I do this now. If you check this post of mine:
http://boston.conman.org/2020/03/23.2
you should see a blockquote that links back to the original article. And ifyou check the source, you'll see I used the CITE attribute in the BLOCKQUOTEtag to *also* link to the source.
Furthermore, when I use Firefox on Linux, I can highlight the portion of apage I want to quote, and using a special program, grab not only the HTMLfrom the clipboard [1] but the URL, use that to grab the page again for thetitle, and automatically generate the BLOCKQUOTE for me.

[1] The X Windows selection mechanism is quote sophisticated and supports multiple MIME types (no, really!). I have some text highlighted in Firefox (under Linux) right now, and I can grab (among other values):
text/html With the HTML UTF8_STRING sans HTML text/x-moz-url URL of the page
