No.

MTP is not a file system. There are some pseudo file systems that could
mount it, but obviously with limited functionality (after all, it's not
a file system). mtpfs ([1]) seems like an obvious choice, but I have
never used it, so I don't know if it even works.

As others have said, Dolphin accesses it via the kio framework.
