Yes.

Well section 1.1.3 of the manual "Writing R Extensions" say, in part,
"Currently, data files can have one of three types as indicated by
their extension ..." so the answer to your question is no.  Perhaps
reading that section of the manual will help. (Hint: you want to
create an R expression that returns the list you want.)
