Yes. The flow is (1) you declare a canQuote policy, (2) accounts who fit that policy get their quote post buttons unlocked, (3) if one of them clicks it, your server gets a QuoteRequest from that actor, (4) you respond with a bespoke QuoteAuthorization, which you need to host indefinitely – its presence allows third parties to verify that that specific quote was permitted by you.
The current spec is here: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/044f/fep-044f.md#QuoteAuthorization (technically still a draft)
