Yes, you can use 'Run file watchers' command to trigger a watcher for selected folder/project: just select a folder/project root, hit Ctrl+Shift+A -> type "run file " -> choose Run File Watchers.... You can assign custom shortcut for "Plugins | File Watchers | Run File Watchers" action in Settings | Keymap to make this procedure less complicated.
