No, that’s not currently possible.

Depending on the goals, options might include rearranging the filesystem, changing permissions, or (ab)using a filesystem to only present the desired files to Plex.

Depending on the directories and files, sometimes it’s possible to make a complicated .plexignore behave in that way. Typically the best choice is to adjust the filesystem.

You could also create a feature request.
