Yes - but secure it with high modules lines like used on modern F18s. In fact, you only need to remove the bail and drill a couple of small holes in the side of the luff track.

Here is something close...Instead of tying the line all the way to the head of the mast, use the small eye strap that is already riveted there for the spinnaker halyard hoist tail. Actually...that's all wrong. Don't run the halyard up the mast either, just run it to the block and use the line at eye strap to hold the block in place...hang on, let me see if I can find a better example.
