Not really; it's very incompatible with how CMF and Archetypes work, and 
smart people have tried. Fate does temporary object creation as well, as 
far as I know.

The answer is to adopt Zope 3 content types, which have proper add 
forms, but this evolution is gradual. At present, CMF makes no 
allowances for Zope 3 content types, but it probably will in time.
