No, not yet, and maybe not ever....this isn't the kind of thing that
Impact! is really made to do.  You'd really need some sort of particle
animation system that could break up the object and send each part off on
it's own trajectory.  Dynamic Realities(makers of Impact) was supposed to
unveil a new particle animation system at SigGraph, but I dunno when it's
slated for release or whether or not it could handle this kind of effect.

You may want to give them a call at 414-798-9400.
