They are in the same family of moracae. It is possible. Most of the time che is grafted to osage orange.

The Maclura clade is quite isolated within Moraceae and it is certainly not closely related to mulberry (Morus spp.). So intergeneric grafting would likely fail.
In fact, che is more closely related to fig and breadnut than mulberry. Source:

But if you want to experiment, sure, let us know the results. Maybe due to convergent evolution there is a chance it could work.
