CNAME as an alias to a TXT record

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to create a CNAME in one zone to
resolve as a TXT record in another zone. Can't find anything that says
it will work, but can't find any thing that says it won't, either.
For example, I have added in the zone file for dom1:
_acme-challenge CNAME _acme-challenge.dom2.com.
and then in zone file for dom2:
_acme-challenge TXT "thisismytextvalue"
Then, and more or less as expected, the following dig command fails to
return a record.
dig -t TXT _acme-challenge.dom1.com
Is there a way to get the dig command to return the TXT value for dom2?
Or is that something that can pretty much only happen with A records?
