Yes, either manually or using `winner-mode'.

You mean, if the buffer of the current single window is part of the
window config you want to switch to, then point should stay where it is
right now and the window holding that buffer in the window config should
be selected?

I think that should be doable pretty easily when using `winner-mode' by
using an around advice on `winner-set' which checks the selected
window's buffer and its point, then lets `winner-set' to its workings,
and then selects the window of the old buffer and updates point in case
the old buffer is shown by the new window configuration.
