Some.
Named shifters work with named mechs ie Deore, alivio and Attack all compatible.
Numbered shifters work with numbered mechs ie X7, SX4.
You can't use a number with a name.
And make sure the cogs match the shifter for amount of gears.0 -
sram Named shifters do. (Attack and rocket) work with shimano rear mechs.
no shimano shifter works with a Sram rear mech."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

This is what I've done on the 456. I've got X-0 shifters and X-0 rear mech, with an SLX front mech. Works really well.0
