Is it possible to run Rosetta in arm docker image and run x86 binaries on Ventura?

Docker Desktop

I saw this document on Apple’s developer site:

Running Intel Binaries in Linux VMs with Rosetta | Apple Developer Documentation

Ventura supports running x86_64 binaries in Linux VMSs with Rosetta. Currently, to run an x86_64 binary in docker, we need to set the platform: linux/amd64 flag, and Docker Desktop will use qemu to simulate the whole x64 Linux distribution, which is much slower than native apps.

However, as I know, using Rosetta to run binaries is faster than emulating it? So, is it possible to run Docker Desktop with ARM64 images and install Rosetta inside it?
