        in general yes but I assume you ask if this is a builtin feature, if so, no there isn’t
        such a function.
        What you normally do in such cases is to use the run menu with an external tool that can be
        executed as program directly or via cmd shell and providing the file as a parameter, like

        python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
        

        or

        cmd /K python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
        

        npp replaces automatically $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) with the full path of the
        currently opened (and saved) document.

        In your case it COULD be that this way still works but it either needs to be wrapped
        in a bat file, when using run menu or copy and paste when using NppExec plugin

        mode COM8 BAUD=115200 PARITY=... DATA=...
        copy $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) \\.\COM8
        

        Note, when using a batch file you cannot use $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) inside the batch
        but something like $1 as far as I remember.

        Cheers
        Claudia
