Yes. It’s very simple and not against any code that I am aware of. You would have to buy a standard bibcock y-splitter (the one with individual shutoff ball valves)like you would attach if you were using, say two hoses on the outside spigot. Then buy a Female 3/4NPT x (Male)1/4NPT compression reducer fitting. Insert your 1/4 copper or pex line with a correct ferrel and done.
In fact it is probably the easiest, non-invasive way to source a water supply for your fridge/ice maker. There is no altering of the existing lines and can be safely removed with ease.

Almost.
Hose threads are not NPT. You can get a 3/4 female hose by 3/4 or 1/2 male NPT adaptor and then a 3/4 or 1/2 female NPT x 1/4 compression adapter.
