Is there a way to set the constant radiation heat transfer coefficient in EnergyPlus?

I know that the convection heat transfer coefficient can be overridden using SurfaceProperty:ConvectionCoefficients. However, the radiative part (exchange with sky, ground, and air) seems to be calculated automatically.

Is it possible for the user to set the radiation heat transfer coefficient?

What I have tried so far: if I use SurfaceConvectionAlgorithm:Outside with SimpleCombinedSurfaceConvectionAlgorithm:Outside with SimpleCombined, it seems possible to treat convection and radiation as a single combined coefficient. But when I override the SurfaceProperty:ConvectionCoefficients, the radiation component still appears to be computed automatically.
