 From  the man page

There  are  significant limitations on the target; it
must be a DNS name which is known to dnsmasq from /etc/hosts (or
additional  hosts  files),  from  DHCP, from --interface-name or
from another --cname.  If the target does not satisfy this  cri‐
teria, the whole cname is ignored.

So, not possible, sorry.
