It can be, depending on how you're working. I assumed that you were just
doing the "classic Morphic" programming (where you write Smalltalk
code).

If you're using the Scripting support (the viewers, phrase tiles, etc.),
you can get a reference to any morph by opening the halo and clicking on
the
orange halo button (near the lower left hand corner). This can then be
plugged
in anywhere you need an object reference in the Scripts.

Such object references exist where you see "dot" in the script
prototypes.
So you can drop a tile representing a Morph onto a tile that says "dot"
and get a reference to that object.
