Yes. It is possible. For the GUI, the GUI's parent is the player's PlayerGui and you can use this for example. However, there's much more way to do this and not only for GUI. Hope this helped!
local player = script.Parent.Parent -- This will get a player.
-- The code
You can just do like:
local PlayerName = "_____" --Name of the player you want to get
game.Players:FindFirstChild(PlayerName)
--It really works this way, trust me
