Sorry, not currently.  
If I understand you correctly, you want to get the results of a render target as an C array or Lua table?

On the other hand, @britzl has created an extension for grabbing the screen, maybe there is something you could use or experiment with? [https://www.defold.com/community/projects/56489/](https://www.defold.com/community/projects/56489/)
