Yes, that's possible.  I do something similar, where I have Ctrl-P/Ctrl-N
only go through local history (I leave up/down arrow going through the
shared history).


bindkey '^p' up-line-or-local-history
bindkey '^n' down-line-or-local-history

up-line-or-local-history() {
    zle set-local-history 1
    zle up-line-or-history
    zle set-local-history 0
}
zle -N up-line-or-local-history
down-line-or-local-history() {
    zle set-local-history 1
    zle down-line-or-history
    zle set-local-history 0
}
zle -N down-line-or-local-history

If you change that to bindkey the arrows, you'll get what you want.
