Yes - both are non-destructive editing features, and can be
impleemnted by inserting additional GeglNodes in the chain/graph of
nodes that represent the layer stack. Applying a drop-shadow to the
raster output of a part is no different from applying a color
adjustment. The live previews done for GEGL based filters in GIMP-2.9
are already done by inserting a temporary one-off adjustment layer on
the relevant layer, "inside a layer group".
