If you could find a bulb with two filaments then maybe you could do it, but I'm not sure you could find one small enough.
If you did it with a single filament bulb, would it still be possible? Yes but it could easily turn into a hack job. I think you'd want to make sure to put a diode in there to keep current from the park lights out of the turn signal circuit. Technically you could wire it up without doing that, but I think messing with stuff like that is how people who don't know what they're doing end up chasing ghosts through their electrical system.
Another idea,.. I appreciate wanting to customize a little. Have you seen those little projectors that will project a MINI Cooper logo out of the bottom of your mirrors into the ground? I think that would be easier to wire without hacking te factory wiring too much. You could just put in a new circuit for it. -that's my 2 cents anyway.
