No, that's not a feature of LDAP. Interesting idea though. You can  
only use:

"1.1" - meaning no attributes
"*" - meaning all user attributes
"+" - meaning all operational attributes
"attr" - meaning the attribute "attr"

in (sensible) combinations. You could do a schema query and work out  
what attributes to request, or you could just get everything back and  
ignore the ones you don't care about.
