It will not work for the same reason. Quoting RFC 2782:
Target
The domain name of the target host. There MUST be one or more
address records for this name, the name MUST NOT be an alias (in
the sense of RFC 1034 or RFC 2181).
.onion addresses do not map to IP addresses. So resolvers are likely to
give you a NXDOMAIN answer.
