Right now, no. You can only specify a list of pages where the records
should come from.
However if somebody implements the starting point feature nicely, we'd
be glad to integrate it in 4.4.

As we are trying to hide the database as much as possible, I think it
would be the wrong direction to add such kind of magic - what do you
need it for? :-)
