Oclif dynamic autocomplete with http call

Question

Does Oclif support making a call to an API and getting the values returned in order to be used for autocomplete? I have the following use case:

Multiple users are stored in a database
When the user presses show users , the CLI should make a call to an API that returns all available users.
The CLI should use the values returned from the API.
The user can then select a user name, for example show users user0001.

Is this possible in Oclif?

'It is not possible in Oclif, however the Heroku CLI does this. Check out https://github.com/heroku/cli/tree/master/packages/autocomplete for more information.'
