Yes, it can be.
RMS previously asked us to do exactly this:
https://orgmode.org/list/E1kIPh1-0001Lu-Rg@fencepost.gnu.org
Also, see previous discussion on re-integrating org-capture into remember.el:
https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87bka7c2e0.fsf@localhost
Similar for org-protocol.el.

I would like to hear in more details what you have in mind. As is, your
proposal appears to be for multiple projects. Or am I mistaken?
For links in particular, Hyperbole already implements the described
minor mode, or what am I missing?
For tables, dates, and other markup, it is not clear what you want to
achieve. Do you want Org markup to be displayed in non-Org buffers?
