Can opensuse (leap 16) be installed on an existing volume group / thin pool?

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi,
I have a multi boot system, I would like to add opensuse as a boot option.
I have installed rEFInd as my bootmanager (mostly because it’s pretty)

My partition table consist one 1MB bios partition, 512MB EFI System Partition and the remainder is a LVM2 “PV” partition.

This partition contains one volume group and it contains one thick volume that is the /boot partition of my first operating system and the remainder is a thin pool, this thin pool contains the root partition of the first operating system.

I want opensuse to, create a thick boot partition in the volume group and on root partition in the thin pool as well as add its boot loader to the EFI partition

Can this be done using the graphical installer ?

Thanks !
