Yes

Feature value
From the above link:
:clock-in
Start the clock in this item.
:clock-keep
Keep the clock running when filing the captured entry.
:clock-resume
If starting the capture interrupted a clock, restart that clock when finished with the capture. Note that:clock-keephas precedence over:clock-resume. When setting both to non-nil, the current clock will run and the previous one will not be resumed.
Quite useful for some workflows and time tracking.
