Not at this time, and probably never.

Yes -- data extents on the rt device and extended attr extents on the
regular data device.  The only thing you can reflink are file data
extents on the data device.  Everything else (attr blocks, directories,
metadata) cannot be shared, just like in pre-reflink XFS.
