Perhaps not, but have you taken a look at the Edit Order feature in the UI. 
It's a bit more manual, you would have to set the quantity of the item you 
wish to remove to '0', then check the boxes to recompute totals and 
salestax and click Ok. The 'removed' item still shows up as a line, but 
with a quantity and price of 0. The description line is still available, 
which gives you the option of enterning something like 'removed by customer 
request dd/mm/yy' - which I think you would actually want for auditing 
purposes.
