Maybe? I don't know what splicing is, but if it cooperatively moves part of the channel funds to a new address and reduces the channel size accordingly, that'd make sense.
It looks like, from a technical perspective, it is possible in a trustless way:

It turns out boltz wasn't just an altcoin swapping thing, but it also allowed trading BTC in lightning for BTC on-chain. But as someone else in this thread mentioned, they're gone.
There's reportedly software called Loop, which Loop Bitcoin service is a self-hosted thing that will solve this problem (I didn't look into the technical details, but presumably it works the same as bolz, with the hash lock).
