"Is it possible?" Yes. Can you do it? Not easily.

A lot is possible in Drupal. It just sometimes requires a lot of coding. It's usually better not to ask if something's possible -- just state your problem and the maintainer will tell you if there is a solution.

"I have a problem, I'll look into it" is not helpful

Don't open an issue just to say "I haven't solved my own problem yet." The maintainer probably can't help you, and it's just annoying while your issue sits untouched in the queue and no one can do anything about it.

Never Reopen Closed Support Requests

Each support request is an individual person's problem. You should open a new request if you really need support. However, first make sure your question hasn't already been answered and you can't figure it out yourself. When you open the new issue, make sure you list the steps you've already taken to solve the problem yourself, including listing similar issues that you found in your search for a solution.

Report the Problem, Not The Solution

Say the goal, not how you want to achieve it. Usually the best way to reach the goal is not the way you expect.

If You Knew How to Fix It, You Wouldn't Have to Ask

Don't assume you know what the cause of your problem is, or how to fix it -- because you probably don't. If you did, you would have fixed it already. Just report what you're trying to do, what's actually happening, how to reproduce it, and the relevant technical details.

You Are Not Entitled to Help or Stability

...so don't complain if you don't get either one, and be happy if you do.

Try The Development Build Before Reporting Bugs

The problem you're reporting may have already been fixed.

Punctuation is Good in Moderation

Using more than one question mark or exclamation point in a row is obnoxious.

Just Because It Doesn't Work For You, Doesn't Mean It Doesn't Work

If it was that horribly broken, there wouldn't be thousands of sites using it. Of course, we understand that a person as awesome as you are couldn't possibly make a user error, so it must be the leprechauns.
