Can you connect things directly to a swivel on fishing line?

Can I connect a lure or hook directly to a swivel? or do I need to get another piece of fishing line, attach that to the hook or swivel, and then make a loop on the other end and attack THAT to the swivel?
Thanks for the help. But if it's possible to just connect it directly to the snap swivel, how come some people have the separate line attachment with the loop to connect it to?
Oh and what about if I just use a regular knot for a hook and not a snelled one, is that bad? because to the best of my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, but a snelled hook is just a regular hooked tied on a certain way
so just to clear things up as a final thought....I should have the lure or hook connected to a piece of fishing wire and have a loop at the end of that which connects to the snap swivel, right?

Just to clarify!

Snaps and lures 101!!!
#1- snaps will work with some lures but will effect other lures true action by non direct contact with the eye of the lure causing some lures to sway or even roll or pull off to one side(dog track)!
#2- snaps when cast will at times fold onto the main line causing tangled hooks!
#3- snaps are made by the millions and many have defects and when a fish takes the lure it may fail then open losing lure and fish!
#4- fish see snaps at times and forward strike lures causing lost fish or break off!
#5- inferior snaps cause line twist!

Use of and for snaps or swivels!
#1- line shy fish needing the use of a leader!
#2- shock or bite leader!
#3- pre rigged baits with short leaders as in worms with built in coils in the soft plastic itself!(to leep from twisting line)
#4- use with drop rigs, slip sinker, 3 way!
