No, it is not possible unless theif $f_i$$f_1, \ldots, f_m$ are not all constant.

Take a polynomial $p$ ofSuppose wlog $m$ variables. $g(z) = p(f_1(z), \ldots, f_m(z))$$f_1$ is a holomorphic function on $\Omega$, and generically non-constant if $f_1, \ldots, f_m$ are not all constant. I'll ignore (if we happen to pick a$f_2, \ldots, f_m$ and consider polynomials $p$ for which it is constant,$p(f_1(z))$. For convenience I'll omit the subscript and call this $f_i$$p(f(z))$. $f(\Omega)$ is non-constantan open subset of $\mathbb C$, then replaceso it contains $g(z)$ by $g(z) + t f_i(z)$$\alpha + \beta i$ for anysome $t \ne 0$)$\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb Q$, i. By adjustinge. there is some the constant term of $p$, we can ensure$z_0$ such that $g(z_0) = 0$$f(z_0) = \alpha + \beta i$, and so $p(f(z_0)) = 0$ where $z_0$ is some given point of $\Omega$$p(w) = (w-\alpha)^2 + \beta^2$.
