This would need to be done before installation as you do not generally have the clearance to use the fence. I think it could also be a problem if you needed to replace a window as you would have to cut out the sill as it generally extends past both legs of the trim. I have used the Domino to make trim units ( head, legs, and sill) sometimes these also include extensions. I find it easier to attach them to the window with pocket screws.

geo,

Terminology may be a problem here. Typically, a window sill is at the bottom of the window and is on the outside. On a double-hung wood window it is usually sloping.

The trim portion that is horizontal on the inside is call the "stool."

An elaborate method of installing interior casing, stool, and apron is shown in the below link.

A domino could possibly be used for installing the interior "stool".  It may be an overkill.

Stool or sill, you still have the same issues, mainly that the fence on the domino requires about three inches of clearance to register.

For sills, I build a window unit (I.e  sill, header, and legs ) sometimes using sipo dominoes, and pre finish. To install I counterbore woods crews in the sill and use 15ga nails for the head and legs.  For a stain grade window unit I plug the screws or use pocket screws.  Make sure you slope the sill at 15 degrees on the top and rip a drip edge into the bottom.
