Correct, you cannot.

It's not clear why you say "in the same manner...", because this is
regardless of whether your enslave a Wi-Fi profile to a bond or not. A
Wi-Fi profile in NetworkManager (currently) always requires to specify
the exact SSID (AP name).

Maybe it's a missing feature, but it's not clear to me that this would
be very useful. Because, commonly each network (SSID) also comes with
distinct set of authentication parameters (password).
