Actually, if you build/add a component, you CAN use it like that.  Some can
even be used without a restart.  For example, I've copied the cross-sell
component and modified it to provide navigational links on the right side of
the page.  Also added a small component to add in a javascript for a popup
window on certain pages that need it.  I can't tell you exactly why it works
(I'm still working on that part), but it does work.
