Do Handlebars work with Microsoft Conditional comments?

Question

We use conditional comments for our html email templates, as well as handlebars. I'm just wondering if handlebars can be used inside conditional comments like so:

                        <div>
                            <!--[if mso]>
                              <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="{{candy.website}}" style="height:40px;v-text-anchor:middle;width:104px;" arcsize="5%" strokecolor="#3ab4e2" fillcolor="#3ab4e2">
                                <w:anchorlock/>
                                <center style="color:#ffffff;font-family:'Open Sans', 'Arial', sans-serif;font-size:14px;">View brand</center>
                              </v:roundrect>
                            <![endif]--><a href="www.candies.com"
                        style="background-color: #3ab4e2; border: 1px solid #3ab4e2; border-radius: 2px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 40px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; width: 104px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; mso-hide: all;">View brand</a>
                        </div>
