According to Berman, no.
General Trek Questions and Observations

Well that's surprising, he's mentioned as executive producer in the end of every episode until the end of season 5?
Maybe it's some union thing I don't know about.
I assume it was contractual.
Sometimes I still wonder whether there's some kernel of truth to what Mark Twain says when he's aboard the ent-D - he asserts that probably those on the ships live a privileged lifestyle, while being blind to the lives of the masses on the planets. Even though he is talking about poverty and oppression, he could be right in the sense that many Starfleet officers are perhaps a bit blind to the possibility that not everybody is as upright in following the 'Starfleet' code as they think. At least it would explain how they prattle on how humanity doesn't do 'x' anymore, yet they still frequently encounter human antagonists whose behavior is less than Starfleet textbook (and sometimes these are even within Starfleet, such as the Evil Admirals).
For all the times I've seen The Siege of AR-558, this is the first time I noticed the actor who played Tuco Salamanca was in it.
One of the best episodes of the series, that happens to have actors who played major characters in both Babylon 5 and Breaking Bad.

Dunno if this really “fits” here, but wanted to share an interesting Trek-adjacent experience I had today:
Today I had surgery to remove a massive kidney stone. This was my first time being put under anesthesia, and for all the people who were telling me I would have no sense of the passage of time, they were absolutely right.
But there is one thing I remember. Right before regaining consciousness…or maybe WHILE regaining consciousness, I had a vision of a completely black void with the original USS Enterprise just floating in the void, and then I came fully back to consciousness and began to get my bearings back.
I just found that such a fascinating experience that THAT was the thing my brain jumped to when coming off of the anesthesia.
Anyone else experience something like that before?

Yeah. No visions or dreams. Just close my eyes and wake up feeling like no time has passed.
It WAS mostly like that for me as well. One second I was talking to the people in the OR, and the next I was opening my eyes, but there was just this tiny little moment of time as I was coming back to awareness where it was just….void….Enterprise….eyes open.
Thanks! It’s been an experience, for sure.
When I underwent surgery under full narcosis when I was 12 and it was apparently wearing off, I was dreaming I had to scream as hard as I could to awaken. I finally managed a small groan and I was awake.
This might sound like a somewhat frightening experience, but it wasn't. It's interesting how our consciousness constructs scenarios (I must have been aware at some level I was sleeping).
Nothing to do with Trek, though
He froze himself and returned as Emperor.
TwiTerran became a very popular social media tool on Mirror Universe Earth.
I had my gall bladder out a year ago. While fading back into consciousness in the recovery room, which was a large open area with many beds, dozens of desks with computers, and lots of people in blue scrubs milling about, I was momentarily sure I'd been abducted by aliens.
Did they click a lot?
I could live with that.
As long as my GP doesn't remark on my next visit that from the X-rays he saw it looked as if my arm was severed and then reattached.

I KNEW HE WAS FAMILIAR! Every time I saw him in BB I'd wonder where I knew him from, but Siege is one of those episodes I've only seen one or two times given its intensity.
