Unfortunately, that would be a hostname instead of a binary wire format
IPv4 address.  The language doesn't let you substitute a name for the
address in this particular way.

On a completely unrelated note, and due to a bug with the way that
'option foo = hostname;' gets written to dhcpd.leases when it is
inserted via OMAPI derived host records (the bug is actually that
the written format is not parseable), there may soon be a
gethostbyname() primitive in the config language.  So in that case,
it could then work, but this is not in any publicly released version
yet.
