No.   See:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-installation-image/
which suggests 'livecd-iso-to-disk` but also says it is less reliable than
Fedora Media Writer.
There are some limitations with persistent overlays, so I find it best to
have the standard live installation
USB key and a separate installion on USB media.
