Yes it is.

This is not currently implemented, so the Search/Replace should not 
allow "in selection"

You can report it (the unimplemented fearture) as a bug. But it will be 
rather some time until that might get implemented (unless someone 
contributes).

----------------
There are some other options to archive what you need.

Multi caret mode: (you can in Keymap config a key to have all carets 
kept, when moving them in any direction)

Maybe

And Editor Macros
record actions for one line, end with positioning one line down => then 
play macro repeatedly.
