Not possible, and I don't think it's planned to allow that currently. It
is also quite an esoteric use case for the general user, and you can
easily use the terminal app to reach the same, as well as add some
snippets to the terminal app shortcuts.

IP address will obviously be displayed somewhere, at some point. Today
you could have an app doing that, similar to what WifiTranfer [1] app does.
