Yeah, like you can activate small amounts of material with alpha particles from a particle accelerator like Cockcroft did or really bombarding them with relatively low energy concentrated alpha particles like Curie’s daughter did, but it’s not generally a major contributing factor to the radioactivity from just being around alpha emitters since you really have to do it very intentionally.
