In a 2d game? Sure, no problem, all Dota types have them. In games like CS and Valorant? Yes, they already do that, they have maps with simple geometry so its possible. Games with open world geometry with buildings with windows etc? Will be almost useless to implement anyway. You need to avoid pop-in effects so positions needs to be sent 1-2m before they are visible, its what they do in cs/valorant but it doesn't really work with complex geometry.
