No, because it's a married segment issue, similar to how domestic award pricing works. You can't find saver award inventory and just call an agent and tell them to link it up and give you an itinerary with various non-logical connections. In this case, DL usually forces you to go on DL metal or connect through DL hubs, and pay the DL inflated prices, unless your city requires thorough backtracking or has few connections, like YUL. YUL has many AF seats open usually bookable with DL.
