Emirhan,

You can. Macro's are just text substitution with a bit of special sauce. 
There are many procedural ways of creating shapes, objects or whole 
scenes that can be put inside macro's.

A famous procedural generator is a Lindemayer system, or L-systems. That 
can be used to create plants for example 
https://github.com/t-o-k?tab=repositories search for L-system in this 
page to get an idea.

There is a wealth of macro's that build things "out there".
