It is not.

No, it doesn’t have the horsepower to support it - it only has a quarter of the ram and half the number of CPU cores of its siblings and you can’t pour a quart into a pint pot
Not really - maybe if Qobuz Connect had been available two years ago, it might have been possible to implement it if the Mini’s cpu cores could have supported it, at the expense of later enhancements. It’s been clear for a while that the Mini firmware doesn't have the room to accommodate significant feature enhancements (take squeezelite as an example) hence my comment above re fitting a quart into a pint pot. There’s clearly a limit to what you can do with a $90 puck with limited internal resources…
Wait till the next sale and get a Pro or Pro Plus…

If you use the Chrome browser, you can use my kludge extension, which works with the Mini (though it just starts albums/playlists, hands them off to your WiiM, then bails).
A quick Chrome Extension to add a "WiiM" button to the Qobuz website using the Chrome or Kiwi browsers. If you're on a Qobuz page for an album or playlist, clicking the "WiiM" button will play it to the WiiM that you configured in the Options for the extension. Useful for Chromebooks, possibly Linux, where the Qobuz app may not work, and until Qobuz Connect is out of beta.
Note that there will be no feedback, it will simply launch the album or playlist on the Wiim, without updating anything on the Qobuz page.
