Yes, but it has to be a symlink pointing into "refs/", not just a regular
file holding a hash value.  Which is fine for most purposes but sort of a
pain for me.

I'll probably have it be a symlink to "refs/gitfs-dynamic" or something and
then have "refs" be populated with that synthetic file and symlinks to
any of the normal contents of the refs directory.  Not too bad, but will
take a little bit of code.
