Yes, by setting the -g option. That's exactly what I'm doing now to get flash based web video from Minimal Kiosk Browser; I send the URL to omxplayer(GUI), which plays the stream directly from the server. No need to download anything.
Minimal Kiosk Browser (kweb)
Slim, fast webkit browser with support for audio+video+playlists+youtube+pdf+download
Optional fullscreen kiosk mode and command interface for embedded applications
Includes omxplayerGUI, an X front end for omxplayer
