Well, depending on just how much you know about the object, you can fake it. For example, if you already know it's a commit, and you know the parents, then yes, you can download it by basically saying that you want that particular object and you already have the parents. But in the general case, the answer is no. Set up a gitweb thing, and look up the objects that way. Or just pull the repo, and look at it locally. Just out of interest, why would you ever want to just look at a single object?
