Yes.

It can be done, but there's no nice way that I can think of to do it.
This is the best I could come up with:

#=============================
fset _w(x) trigger(trigdate()-x) + " UNTIL " + trigger(trigdate()) + " *1"
fset _b(x) "SCANFROM " + trigger(today()-x)

REM 26 Oct [_b(5)] SATISFY 1
set d trigdate()
REM [_w(5)] MSG Something [dosubst("%b", d)]
#=============================

which is not very pretty!

Regards,

David.
