Yes, there is a barrel adjuster cable stop that threads into the underside. However, the exit angle is not great (there are pics in the other thread)
If you're wanting it for that purpose you would be better to wait till the next production run is released as the exit angle is sorted and the routing out the top is easier too. Unfortunately that won't be out until the end of the year.
I've just finished installing this on my IA.
Firstly I ran with the supplied BTA bracket without the aeria hydration. Unfortunately you need to run quite a few spacers to get this to work (ended up being 35mm or so when running at max tilt). For this I routed brake cable through the smaller hole because the threaded nut would foul with the headtube.
However now I wanted to get the pads lower (and the hydration arrived) the cable outlet I was using was then right behind the screw holes for the hydration clip so I had to drill another one somewhere in the middle of these 2 which then runs the cable as close to the headtube as possible - albeit with some minor rubbing.
It would be great to have a few predrilled holes for bikes with headtubes which stick out a bit...
On a similar note, the flat section around the threaded brake outlet is a pain on the IA as it fouls with the headtube if you want to run it slammed. I didn't want to run another 3mm of spacers under there so grinded that section back to the stem profile to allow me to run no spacers underneath.
Maybe this could be useful for future generations of this stem
