Unfortunately no, although you could probably script something up using
multiple 'distance' commands (or if you like python you could try using
pytraj, a python front-end to cpptraj: https://github.com/pytraj/pytraj).

It's actually calculating a normalized covariance matrix, where each matrix
element is the normalized covariance between atomic vectors Vi and Vj:
Mij = (<Vi * Vj> - <Vi> * <Vj>) / sqrt( (<Vi^2> - <Vi>^2)(<Vj^2> - <Vj>^2) )
See this publication for an early example of its use and definition:
