Hypothetically doable? Yes. But I can't think of any easy way to do that that'd feel worth the effort, relative to just having people write a few more tags. Writing custom menus, databases of alternate bbcodes that'd need to be parsed with a custom system, etc., is kind of a pain in the bum, and would probably have a negative impact on load times for every thread on the forum, regardless of if they used the system.
If it helps, the solution I used when working on formatting-heavy adventures such as this was to keep a text file of BBCodes for each adventure, with a ton of codeblocks that I could copy-paste in for the different formatting or content types I used. That's how I did the the chat logs, dice roll popups, item and skill menus, the next post/previous post links in the header, etc. in Ashwood Cross. That ought to work still!
