Playing guitar chords finger style

I had a question… is there a way I could play finger style guitar to sing along with without having to play exactly the melody. Like can you just take a pattern and play it on the chord in stead of just strumming it. I don’t know if this for sure makes sense, but I would appreciate some advice on this matter.

I do it all the time. And add little lead guitar riffs into notes of the chord to really spice it up!
