No – you need to have your BA number (or whichever scheme you have status with) on the booking.
I’ve found the only way to do this is to untick the “I’m flying” box, re-input my name, then it lets me select BA as the FF scheme.
Even then, it look a few months for the system to seem to recognise this and start allowing me free seat selection. And I still can’t get it on IB domestic flights!
They cancel and change a lot as well; I think my flirtation with them may well be short-lived …
