Yes.
Open a Finder window, navigate to the file in iCloud Drive, right click the file and click on Share. From the menu select
Right click on the file you wish to share a link for. From the drop down menu, select "Share a Link" instead of "Send a Copy". Under the dropdown select wether you want the recipient to be able to edit the file or just view it and download it. Then select a way to send the link, either, Airdrop, Mail, Messages, etcc. or simply Copy Link to get the link with the selected settings, you can paste anywhere you want. You can click on Add Access if oyu want to specify people that can access the file.
