No, because it would break as soon as the location bar is made visible.
It's why folders should have one, real, filesystem name.

Because they are a back-end in GNOME. A GNOME app should be able to
expect that fonts:/// is the fonts directory without having to do a
translation lookup. They should have a localised name, and perhaps the
location bar should display something totally different to the URI ala
windows.
