I don't think so.  "ka" and "lo'e" pick out actual properties, and "le'e
picks out in-mind ones (which may or may not hold).  I do not know how
to express in Lojban the difference between "technically" and "regular", but
they are surely discursives of some sort.  "sa'e" probably helps cover the
ground.
