[ISS Support Case] Driver question, system tag's

I am trying to communicate with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC using Plant SCADA 2023. Ive installed the S7TCP driver and was able to communicate using Symbolic Addressing (e.g. Tag_1, StartPump3, FlowRate, etc.). However, due to how the PLC was programmed, we have to use Absolute Addressing (e.g. %Q3, %QW1, %I9, %IW7, %DB20.DBD0, etc.). Can the S7TCP driver support Siemens Absolute Addressing?
