I assume you mean the autocomplete feature of the code editor? If so,
then yes, it is possible, but it doesn't work very reliably from what I
can tell.

The set of all known functions is cached in the file
~/.config/octave/VERSION/qsci/octave_kbf.pap. If you create a new
function file, it won't get added to the cache automatically. But if you
delete the cache, close the tab in the editor, and open it again, the
cache is recreated and should include your new function.
