Yes, it's possible:

public class DocumentSBean sBean implements Serializable{

private List projects;
// projects methods...
// ...

public Converter getDocumentConverter(){
 return docConverter;
}

private Converter docConverter = new Converter() {

        @Override
        public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
            return projects.stream().filter(p -> p.getName().equals(value)).findFirst().orElse(null);
        }

        @Override
        public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
            return (value != null)
                    ? ((Document) value).toString()
                    : null;
        }
    };
}
