Indeed.
You can use a "Box" field for this:
lc = .1;
Point(1) = {0,0,0,lc};
Point(2) = {1,0,0,lc};
Point(3) = {1,1,0,lc};
Point(4) = {0,1,0,lc};
Line(1) = {3,2};
Line(2) = {2,1};
Line(3) = {1,4};
Line(4) = {4,3};
Line Loop(5) = {1,2,3,4};
Plane Surface(6) = {5};
Field[1] = Box;
Field[1].VIn = lc/10;
Field[1].VOut = lc;
Field[1].XMin = 0.2;
Field[1].XMax = 0.6;
Field[1].YMin = 0.2;
Field[1].YMax = 0.6;
Background Field = 1;
