Not that I can think of. The RECCOUNT() would need to be available as a separate attribute of the file (like the size, datetime, etc.) What are you trying to do?
If you wanted to implement this you'd probably have to set up another table that tracks the RECCOUNT() of other tables, and maintain it appropriately.
