No. Migration Assistant does not selectively differentiate to the granularity that you are seeking here. Probably easier to drag those over yourself. If you don’t have a clone, you can either use Time Machine backup directly, or restore the entire old volume to a scratch storage device, and drag the files and apps from there.
