Unfortunately not. 
 What you want to achieve ist called "bridging" or forwarding network packets on Layer 2 of the OSI model. 
 This is very rarely used since in such a configuration every undirected traffic (namely broadcasts and multicast, ARP SMB and all the like) would be forced to pass the tunnel and appear on the other side, too. 
 Common connections like Site2Site tunnels or RED interfaces all work on Layer 3 and will require IP routing. 
 Your options would be either to add a VPN connection which will make a virtual interface of the client in question appear to be in the HQ's LAN/VLAN or a setup with Proxy ARP.

Hello Valerio Baroni , Thank you for reaching out to the community, you mean you want to add a VLAN in the Site - to - Site RED Tunnel between the 2 XGS ? You can create VLANs on physical interfaces, such as ports (for example Port1, PortA, eth0), RED interfaces, or virtual interfaces, such as bridge or LAG. Do not have a guide between the site-to-site RED but there is guide you'd may like to refer - Configure a RED 50 or RED 60 with VLANs .
