You kind of can, maybe or maybe not in the way you want to. Try this:
Get 2 spheres, each with a different material.
Group them.
With the group selected, apply a texture projection. The texture projection
ends up on the scene root, spanning both objects.
You can now get to this texture projection from either object's rendertree.
I also found that if you drag projections from objects into the scene root
you can see these projections from objects in the scene.
(cue Luc-Eric, 'don't do that, you'll cause the end of civilisation as we
know it'). ;)
