yes.

only if you are willing to risk damaging your datafile editing it outside of
gnucash. The FITID values are stored as a key/value pair like:
<slot>
<slot:key>online_id</slot:key>
<slot:value type="string">20180906246910059666</slot:value>
</slot>
and finding specific transactions in the raw XML is harder than you might
imagine. The online_id is not available to the user anywhere in the gnucash
interface.
I have never tried editing a gnucash SQL file outside of gnucash.
