Short answer: No.

Building the normal webpages is deeply embedded in bbgen. It would be
really nice to move it out of there, and into a dynamic webpage where 
you could directly select which data is used to build the page. That's
not possible now.

Historically, bbgen is the oldest piece of Hobbit, and this does show
in the code :-)
