Is it possible to make job for only specific part of layout and within constrained area?

Hello,

Is it possible to define job to populate only specific part of the schematic (by sheet/nets/designators) within given area?

I’m looking for various options to place buck controller so that it “fits” and “works”. Is the only viable option to place all the rest manually, and just see how the automatic placement/routing can be done? Or is it possible to define some target area with priorities?
