You can, but it will require some work.
First off, the default Dashboard project is a one-way data stream from the robot to the Dashboard.
Three ideas:
1) You can create a TCP connection using available ports (in the manual), to send data back to the robot.
2) (Recommended) - Add 4 physical buttons to your driver station that go to the Cypress board to tell the robot what to do, add a read out to the dashboard.
3) (Coolest) - Add 4 physical buttons to your driver station that light up when the target is found, so the driver just has to look down at the lit driver station board to select the target.
