No, not at this time.  It would be better to debug and fix the test method so that it does not need to be excluded!

However, as far as jtreg is concerned, there is no semantics to the query string; it is up to the test (runner) to interpret the string, and that could support an extended syntax, such as exclusion `test-path?-method` or a list `test-path?m1,m2`.
But I think we should wait to see a compelling use case for such forms.  

Note also that you can always use JUnit Platform directly to execute a test, and with that, you have the full power of the JUnit platform command line.
