It is possible, but may require either more work, or an equivalent amount of work to actually creating the constraints manually, because you still have to find and identify the entities within the assembly that you want to constrain together one way or another.  You either have to know something unique about what you are searching for, or you have to make/create something unique about what you're searching for, in order to find it.  To incorporate something like Pick or manual selection would pretty much negate most of the automation advantage of the rule.  One thing I've seen folks do is assign attributes to the proxy objects in the assembly that they will be constraining to/between ahead of time (similar to 'named entities' but without user interface tool).  However, that also requires you to either use one of the available add-ins, a macro, or a rule to help you assign the names, and some manual selections, which also seems like it would be practically eliminating the advantage of the automation later.
