Hi,
Do you mean a third party news module? (Like News and Articles manager or something?).
If so, then no, mappings can't be added for those automatically.. but they can be added if you manually enter URI mappings in the database using software such as PHPMyAdmin.
You'd have to set the main_page and query_string_parameters fields (e.g. maing_page set to "news" and query_string_parameters set to "article=13" or something along those lines), as well as uri (/news/this-is-the-name-of-the-article), current_uri, language_id and date_added.
More info about adding custom URIs is in the configuration documentation, I'm afraid that's as much as I have to say about it here.
All the best...
Conor
