Anything is possible, but I'd be very reluctant to go there. Currently all distances in HAL are in "machine units". Machine units are the units used in the ini file. Typically machine builders in metric places will use mm, and in inch places will use inches, but that is up to the builder. At the level where most HAL stuff takes place, changing units on the fly would be a disaster. Halui is a funny beast - it operates at a high level - the user interface. But it uses mechanisms designed for low level stuff - HAL. The intent of halui was to allow physical input and output devices like industrial oil-tite pushbuttons and indicator lamps to be used for operator input, so the low/high level connections make sense. But I think it is being stretched and twisted far beyond the original intent. What is the problem you are trying to solve?
