Run .mcfunction every tick

Is it possible in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition to have a .mcfunction execute every tick without a command block? I have the .mcfunction working but want to simplify and get rid of the command blocks totally. Also with command blocks, you have to waste one of your ticking areas to ensure it always works.

I had a hunt around on bedrock.dev (check it out, might help you with future problems) and found this.

Functions that are listed in the file BP/functions/tick.json, where BP is your behaviour pack will be executed on every tick.

An example is below:

{ "values": ["function_file_name_one", "function_file_name_two"]
}

Take a look at the page I found for some more info and technical details.
