Yes, copy this file 
cp /awips2/cave/etc/volumebrowser/FieldDisplayTypes.xml 
/awips2/edex/data/utility/cave_static/site/OAX/

And then add:
   <field key="GSTX" displayTypes="IMAGE" />
   <field key="GSTF" displayTypes="IMAGE" />

You can do a find for the file:
find /awips2/edex/data/utility -name *GUST*

and then update the styleRules to use the new name
<defaultColormap>FE GUST</defaultColormap>

If you only want to use that for one of the parameters just create 2 separate 
entries in the styleRules
