Not to my knowledge, I have done it by cutting the corners at 45 degrees
and adding a non polycon-clearing zero length track at the corner (in one
case I also used an track drawn with the arc tool, but I don't remember
why, perhaps because there was a component pad/pin in the area).

Yes, I almost exclusively use tented vias. Enable the soldermask layer
and press Shift-K repeatedly until the via is fully covered. Or edit
the pcb source file, manually or with a script.
