Yes,

actually there is no such limitation, a function handle
can refer to a function with multiple outputs:

>> function [x,y] = myswap (y,x)
endfunction
>>

a =  2
b =  1
>> swaphandle = @myswap
swaphandle = @myswap
>> [a,b]=swaphandle(1,2)
a =  2
b =  1
>>

does the documentation say anywhere anything that makes you think
the opposite? If so can you suggest how to change the documentation to make it 
clearer?

HTH,
