No, because there is no way to tell when the user is actively changing 
the value of an array element.  There is output from [struct] if you're 
changing the value of a float or symbol field, however, so for non-array 
fields you can create a hack that immediately sets any value changed by 
mouse interaction back to its previous value.

For array elements:
You can use [table] or a "Put" menu array as the real array data, and 
have your ds array poll that data periodically with a [metro whatever].  
Each time you poll, set reset the ds array elements to the corresponding 
elements of [table].  So the user can change the values, but they go 
back to their real values the next time you poll.
