Sort of - I'm pretty sure it's the same shifter Sturmey-Archer sells as a thumb shifter, bar end shifter, or the under-seat shifter, but without a clamp or pod.

Having the Sturmey-Archer detents is terrific, the shifting is very positive. Plenty of people have said they've done it, and as long as you get into the right range (I think it's pretty forgiving), the hub should work fine. Issue is that running it in between gears is bad. 3 speed you can likely get away with it.
