Not at the moment, AFAIK. You're not the first person to notice this,
see the FIXME at lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp.el#755.

ElDoc works with the contents of the buffer, and until the user picks a
candidate, the buffer only contains the prefix.

But anyway, you're just duplicating a similar call from two places. The
bulk of signature-fetching logic should be reusable.

Maybe. Sorry, I don't know too much about Semantic.
