Yes of course.

bitbake operates on recipes using a well-known command line interface.
We can't bolt on something entirely different.

That said, pipeline functions don't have to be in bitbake-setup, they
can be in a separate tool (Trevor mentioned that 'bitbake-setup' as a
name doesn't fit that functionality very well). I just don't have any
ideas off the top of my head. 'bitbake-pipeline' ?
