No
However you can easily get what you want. With some caveats. Try trawling the forum via Search.
It appears that you want some line elements and some shape elements in your desired object. The Fill property is only for shapes (so forget about building your object from lines). The best option is to learn about shapes, especially irregular shapes, a little bit more. First build some simple shapes:
• Start with a shape from the shape tool.
• Edit/Shapes/MakePointsEditable.
• Add points and move them around
• pay particular attention to the Arc shape (it is an un-closed line, but allows Fill).
• also play with the Bezier curves and handles to manipulate them
Next, look at building your object from a series of simple shapes which overlap:
• select two or more shapes and play with Edit/Shapes/SubtractShapes
• ... UnionShapes
• ... IntersectShapes
Until you produce a single true shape that suits your need
