As of SwiftUI 2, I don't think so. I believe you need to wrap an NSTextView or UITextView with this functionality. Doing this for UIKit is very straightforward (just use UIViewRepresentable), but on the Mac it's more complicated because NSTextView isn't a scroll view subclass like UITextView is. Here's a gist I found that shows what you need to do on macOS: https://gist.github.com/unnamedd/6e8c3fbc806b8deb60fa65d6b9affab0
