no, but you could dynamically create a delwrite~ object, see

that's what $0-something is for, $0- is expanded with a unique number for
each patch (thus keeps arraynames, sends, receives, delaylines and whatnot
local to your patch), try with send and receive as in:

 [s foo]

 [r foo]

 [s $0-foo]

 [r $0-foo]
