Yes, technically, via system.tag.configure.
However, this is a bad idea. Ignition's tag historian is strongly optimized for "set it and forget it" storage of data, not process driven or otherwise 'controlled' historical data.
You should look into transaction groups or simply scripting this operation yourself into your own storage table(s). Ignition 8.1 adds the DB table historian provider type which allows you to 'bridge' more standard wide DB table structures into Ignition's historian easily.
