Is there an option “Interpret values as category” in ParaView Web? The figure shows a similar option in the desktop version. This option is used when the displayed parameter accepts a finite number of discrete numbers, and the color of the scale corresponds to a specific number (not a range of values). Such a representation is convenient, for example, to display a material diagram.

The ParaViewWeb framework give you access to all ParaView. So yes it is possible to enable it.  
But that also mean, you will have to create the UI widgets and network call to perform that toggle on the server side with the proper set of method calls.
