Yes it is. Here is an example:

<module name="HiddenSearch" layoutPanel="panel_row1_col1" group="foo" autoRun="True">
  <param name="groupLabel">foo</param>
  <param name="search">index=_internal | head 5</param>
    <module name="HiddenPostProcess">
      <param name="search">`head`</param>
      <module name="JobProgressIndicator"/>
      <module name="Paginator">
        <param name="count">10</param>
        <param name="entityName">results</param>
        <module name="EnablePreview">
          <param name="enable">True</param>
          <param name="display">False</param>
          <module name="SimpleResultsTable">
            <param name="allowTransformedFieldSelect">True</param>
            <param name="entityName">results</param>
            <param name="drilldown">row</param>
            <module name="Gimp"/>
          </module>
          <module name="ViewRedirectorLink">
            <param name="viewTarget">flashtimeline</param>
          </module>
        </module>
      </module>
    </module>
  </module>
