reading the post about the clarinet, the incipit of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue came to mind...
e towards the climax of the ascending trill, specifically, the famous glissando (or portamento).
e then the oboe came to mind... I wonder if it can do it too.... mha...
Casella-Mortari says yes, in a less versatile way compared to the clarinet and in a decidedly more limited range. But beyond what is written (even if written by authoritative people), I would be interested in knowing the opinion and direct experience of an oboist.

Aside from finding this interesting site ... that's what I came across:
If the question is: "Can the oboe glissando like a clarinet?"
The answer is: yes, and it can occur throughout the entire range of the instrument through sophisticated fingering, aided by the lips and using air pressure. Combinations of trills + glissando and double trills + glissando can also occur.
