Can we specify time-history loads in a  Reference Load Case?

No, we cannot. We can only specify static load items like nodal loads, member loads, floor loads, surface loads, temperature loads etc directly in a reference load case. Loads like Wind Load, Seismic Load, Time History Load, Moving Load etc., which needs the program to generate the load items, cannot be specified within a Reference Load Case.
