Not quite automatically. You can write a program which polls /dev/snarf
using fstat(2); qid.vers will be updated when the file is written to.

Just as with any acme window, the underlying file will only change
when you click Put. Again if you're willing to do some programming,
you could monitor changes in the window using the acme event file
and do the Put automatically.
