Sure. If you invest effort in building a solution, you can do just about

The thing is, you're going to have to build it -- you can't expect to find
a shell that does a $PATH search for a pathname containing a slash.

POSIX forbids this behavior, FWIW, so you'll probably have a hard time
finding a shell -- at least one with POSIX aspirations -- that
implements it.
So you write a function or alias that prepends the full path to "as" and
exec's the command. So you have to type "auth as ..." but BFD.
