No, airport IDs are not accepted in the route part according to ICAO rules. Possibly some country can have their own rules regarding VFR flight plans, but if you try to submit an IFR flight plan in Europe with an airport location indicator in the route part, it will be rejected by the IFPS. (I just tried!)
