Yes.

In this case, you would have to do something like:

[set item_code][item-code][/set]

And in your buttonbar tag:

	<A HREF="[area href="[scratch item_code]"]> Whateer </A>

Ugly. That is why the [buttonbar ...] tag is deprecated. That means you
shouldn't use it in new installations. 8-)

Much better is in catalog.cfg:

Variable BUTTONBAR_1 <<EOF

Your buttonbar code here.

EOF

Then use __BUTTONBAR_1__ in the page. That will work in all likely
situations.
