If answer is no, is there an alternative method?

One non-programming way around this is to create a custom formula field to hold the value of 2 or more "similar" fields. For example, if you have fields for First Name, Last Name, and Company, you could create a custom formula text field that contains all 3:
FirstName + ' ' + LastName + ' ' + Company
then use that field on the related list instead of the 3 separate fields.
I use this approach when I have 3 dimension fields (for example) length, height, width. I create a Dimensions (lwh) field and use that on my related lists. Users still enter values on the individual fields, but the display can be much cleaner having the info in 1 field.
