It is not possible.

You can of course disconnect right after you have connected.

Not a direct answer to your question, but might help. There is no reason to perform connectable advertisements unless you want to be connected to. If the accessory does not want to initialize a connection, simply advertise non-connectable advertisements. The user interaction should be "do you try to get connected?" Alternatively, you could get connected, disconnect, prompt the user, and then restart connectable advertisements and hope that the central connects to you again.
