Arduino CLI (and thus Arduino Pro IDE as well) provides the very interesting capability to modify referenced tool recipes via overrides in the referencing platform's platform.txt but this is undocumented.
The equivalent capabilty is mentioned in the core reference documentation, so the lack of mention of it in the tools referencing section could be seen as implying that it's not supported.
Overrides don't apply to referenced variants, so this is not a universal capability that can be documented in the general purpose referencing documentation.
The ability to override properties used in referenced tool recipes from the platform.txt of the referencing platform is documented in the platform specification.
No
Arduino IDE does not currently provide this capability.
