Yes! If I understand you correctly, Django already does exactly that. It puts a little plus button next to select boxes (for foreign-key fields), which lets you add a foreign-key object. This appears on the add and change forms. The catch is that the foreign-key object needs to have "admin" set in its model, and the currently-logged-in admin user needs to have permission to add those foreign-key objects.
