Is there a way to black a certain path on any website using a policies.json?

I have a "policies.json" file set up and I am able to block certain websites on Firefox.

For example, mine is set up something like this:

{ 

 "policies": {
     "WebsiteFilter": {
         "Block": [
           "*://youtube.com/*",
           "*://www.youtube.com/*"
         ]
     }
 }

}

My question is can I block any website that has a certain path or keyword in the url?

I know that a few of the match patterns from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns are:

https://*/path/

https://*/path

https://mozilla.org/a/b/c/

But I'm not quite sure how to set them up (such as the formatting in the .json file) and/or what exactly they block. For example, if I wanted to block any website with a "path" = "Giraffe", would it block websites such as "exampleforum .com/giraffe/"?

Why not by blocking software that does this already? Also if you have Windows OS you can set the hosts file to block specific sites as long as you set the Admin with password so users other then the Admin can change it.
