No—iNat observations record encounters with one taxon at one place and time. If you want to make a record of an additional species in the same photo, just add a new observation with the same photo. In each observation, add an identification for which organism you want to identify or specify it in the description/notes section. You can even duplicate an observation for this purpose via the iNaturalist website or Android app.
If you see an observation that has two or more photos depicting different organisms in each, it's best to make a comment politely asking the user to separate the photos into different observations and vote "No" in the Data Quality Assessment for "Evidence related to a single subject":
If the observer does eventually separate the photos or sounds into multiple observations, don't forget to remove your Data Quality Assessment vote.
