Nope. PiHole will only block by domain, so it’s all or nothing.
What you could do is add another intermediary device to block sites based on end point rules. If you know all YouTube shorts share a common address pattern simply drop the packets from moving into your PiHole device.
These could be different docker containers on the same machine
