The deceptive resolution of the primary V7 based on tertial substitution is clear, but is it also possible to resolve deceptively to other chords?

Yes, sometimes highly surprising chords can be found in the ending of a song (or song part), that do not share a tone with the expected Tonic at all. Some scale degrees from the relative minor scale, like bIII, bII, bVI (treated in the Modal Interchange Section) have an especially powerful effect. The song Sin Explicación (Clave Section) shows several examples of deceptive progressions.
