man screen says:
[...] new windows can be created by running a command like:
screen emacs prog.c
from a shell prompt within a previously created window. This will not run
another copy of screen, but will instead supply the command name and its
arguments to the window manager (specified in the $STY environment
variable) who will use it to create the new window. The above example
would start the emacs editor (editing prog.c) and switch to its window.

The answer is yes.
Although it is not the API call you may now want to implement, It is
a simple command line call.
