No, but it's common (in some modes) to first mark a bunch of stuff, and
then when you execute the command on those marked things, the marks are
cleared so that you can then mark some other things and do some stuff on
them.

Dired is one mode that doesn't work like that, but it's not the only
mode in Emacs.
